Great explanation, as a disabled person without much leg strength, I’m learning to swim properly as recommended by doctor. You are a great swim coach, I think swimming is a great equalizer for disabled people but requires good instructors to teach proper technique.
Your videos are the best. So much detailed explanation. Especially good for beginners. You really understand beginner’s fear of water, fear of drowning. No one else on RUclips talked about getting used to have water in your mouth. I stand up every time when any water goes into my mouth when I practice in shallow water. It’s a reflex. Next time, I’m going to train myself starting with breathing with a quarter of my mouth in the water.
I'm constantly watching swimming RUclipss and trying to up my game. Doing laps 5-6 hours a week. My big takeaway from this video: Exhale EVERYTHING 100% before breathing in. I think I was probably exhaling 75-80%. Thanks. Will breathe out ALL the C02 before taking next breath. Great video !!! 😃😃😃
Thank you so much for this video! I don't know how to thank you enough but seriously, you did an amazing job explaining how to breathe on the side while swimming. I am learning how to swim and I am struggling with side breathing. Side breathing is the only thing that's stopping me from learning how to swim. I appreciate you for making this video! You're a life saver!
same issue, in fact in my pool everyone is a titanic giraffe. And my dad says that I don't progress as fast as the other kids, when I just don't want to create a bad habit.
I know how to swim, but I don’t now how to do everything correctly. I’m on my high school’s swim team and it’s been like two days of practice. Your videos help me so much;-; Everyone on the team already knows these things, and I don’t want to take up the coaches time just teaching me alone, so I’m really glad I have your videos
I've been swimming since my mom tossed me in the pool at 9 months. I'm now 43, and I've yet to master side breathing. You're explanation is easy to follow, and I believe I'll have it mastered in no time. Thanks!
The best and simplest explanation I have ever seen, thank you very much for simplifying the information and clarifying it in such a practical way. I just wish there was more clarification of the appropriate timing to start emptying while swimming as soon as we turn our head to enter the water
Thank you Justin! I struggle so much with breathing whilst swimming because I keep snorting/breathing in water. This is so helpful I'll practice this from now on
Thanks a million Justin. This is truly the first video and time I have really seen that explains learning to breathe. This is my biggest problem and now I know what to do to solve it. Keep up the great teaching .
I always do the lifeguard stroke where my head is up and facing forward. Strains my neck and shoulders though if I do it for very long. I'm trying to learn this side breathing but it is very anxiety inducing.
Justin - the giraffe neck and watching the ledge were super helpful tips. I am a beginner and I was able to easily swim twice the number of laps with this technique.
This explanation for side breathing is the best. Maybe you can add some video about the timing of the side breathing. In which time we can should take a breath (late breath/early breath). Thanks Justin
Justin this is great that you made this video, I’m taking swim lessons and I’ve been to 5 classes. I never learned to swim right as a child, now I’m 47 and I’ve been to 5 classes and still have not got it down yet, however your video has really helped me out, I do wish we had more time in the pool during the session. They are $48 dollars here for 8 classes and they are 30 minutes
Wow Mrs L, I am also curious where do they do 8 classes for just 48 bucks. Thats the cost of individual private class just one time Ofcourse u can practice on ur own without classes at ur apartment pool or gym pool
Can't believe I aced this thing when I was learning. I was in my 5th grade and my coach was really happy when I was able to do side breathing perfectly. Although there were many other things I had to work hard on. My body used to twist a lot during long swimming routines. Had to work a lot to improve that.
This is the best breathing technique video on RUclips. I can comfortably swim breaststroke (played national tournament), butterfly, and backstroke but can't swim more than 4 strokes of freestyle (feel fatigue). I feel ashamed that being a swimmer for more than two decades I can't swim freestyle. I am gonna try out this technique. Hope it helps.
I saw ur vedeo yesterday,,I was struggling to take breath for last 1wk while learning swimming,,Today i used ur techinique of side breathing and it worked,,,Thanks a lot ,,really helpful
Thank you so much, Justin ! You are such a great coach and I learned a lot from you on swimming. Also i very much appreciate the deep genuine sharing of your own flesh and blood life stories! Glad that I find a friend like you in so many ways like me. 😊 Keep going, Justin ! You are doing a wonderful and influential job! 👍
There is just one problem with me, I want to learn swimming really bad, focused on my breaststroke and freestyle techniques but when I start to take a breath water goes into my mouth and I suffocate. Any help?
Only problem i face by doing like that is i get water in my mouth as soon as i take my head out of the water so there is no time to breath in because water is in mouth.
I know! It's panic inducing, and I've been swimming since i was 9 months old! I've mastered the breast stroke, butterfly, and backstroke, but the side breathing is the bane of my existence! On the upside, I've learned to hold my breath for 2 minutes, just to avoid side breathing!
Thanks for the great video, my son is just starting and he is struggling with side breathing. This has been the most helpful video I have found. I am going to take him to the pool tomorrow and try out some of your techniques
M 35 and learning. Not able to take out mouth but will try it like you told baby steps. Yes, I am a slow learner of 🏊 cause I fear water. Thank you Justine
you are very good teacher sir..thanks God i found your video...i'll try your advice this weekend..i'll inform if i'll be able to learn.. :)..but your advice is very diff from others i saw/hear..i think your idea are way way better :)
Ear plugs are available in shops selling safety device for construction workers. There are different models originally designed to protect our ears from noise. The one made of solid plastic with a flexible plastic string connecting both plugs is most suitable. I have not try those made of foam. I think foam could absorb water & usually does not have string connecting the plugs, difficult to find if you drop it on the floor or in the water.
Hi Patrick, Thank you for useful tips. I was trying this for 2 weeks and Yesterday watch this video and today i did it, truly happy and get confident today. Thanks for mention where to look, looking the wall at one side and looking just above life line on other side. Great tip, really appreciated your advise thank you.
Hi. First, I would like to say that I love your videos. Thanks so much for posting them. Also, do you have any advice for bilateral breathing especially breathing towards the weak side? For me, I always breathe towards my strong side which is my right. I've been practicing towards my left, but I still have problems with it. Thanks so much for your response.
Chanah Liora Wizenberg it usually comes with practice but I'd recommend blowing out just before your head goes above water before breathing. However still exhale underwater through the nose as usual
I don’t get it how can you breathe with some water in the pocket of your mouth I e been practicing and water ends up all over my mouth throat nose while the water is getting splashed around me it is so hard!!!!
Thanks. I have been spending time in the gym. And I wonder if that is doing something to my neck muscles as I have been having difficulties with breathing technique. Have you ever experienced similar problem...do let me know.
My mind & my body are doing two different things when I'm trying to swim front crawl 🤣 Your videos are really good to help connect the dots 😊 Although i find it difficult to find the air pocket & worry I'll drown if i keep my head low 🤣
You are the first person who actually explained its normal to have water in your mouth. I still don't feel sure about how I will inhale without inhaling the water that's in my mouth, but can't wait to try tomorrow!
So far so good...the best side breathing trick for beginners I've seen on RUclips...sincere thanks from my NECK.
Best side breathing explanation ever. Thank you so much!
I hope I learn soon to do side breathe👍
Your video was brilliant. I am having problems with breathing. So I keep watching it it.will Improve my breathing skills

I'm a beginner swimmer, and you helped me tremendously!!! I improved in just one day just practicing your tips. Thank you.
I'm constantly watching swimming RUclipss and trying to up my game. Doing laps 5-6 hours a week.
My big takeaway from this video: Exhale EVERYTHING 100% before breathing in. I think I was probably exhaling 75-80%. Thanks. Will breathe out ALL the C02 before taking next breath. Great video !!! 😃😃😃
great comment - that's an entirely new topic as well on how to exhale properly (nose/mouth/both) and how much
Thank you so much for this video! I don't know how to thank you enough but seriously, you did an amazing job explaining how to breathe on the side while swimming. I am learning how to swim and I am struggling with side breathing. Side breathing is the only thing that's stopping me from learning how to swim. I appreciate you for making this video! You're a life saver!
I've been a titanic giraffe and I totally needed this because after I breathe it takes me a good time to start moving ahead again.😂😂
same issue, in fact in my pool everyone is a titanic giraffe. And my dad says that I don't progress as fast as the other kids, when I just don't want to create a bad habit.

That was nice of your mom to do that 👍is she german? Jk. I have this same problem. Good luck if you haven't already mastered it!
The best and simplest explanation I have ever seen, thank you very much for simplifying the information and clarifying it in such a practical way. I just wish there was more clarification of the appropriate timing to start emptying while swimming as soon as we turn our head to enter the water
Thank you Justin! I struggle so much with breathing whilst swimming because I keep snorting/breathing in water. This is so helpful I'll practice this from now on
Thanks a million Justin. This is truly the first video and time I have really seen that explains learning to breathe. This is my biggest problem and now I know what to do to solve it. Keep up the great teaching .
Now I know why my neck is painful after swim.
You are funny and amazing trainer... thnk u for the tip
I always do the lifeguard stroke where my head is up and facing forward. Strains my neck and shoulders though if I do it for very long. I'm trying to learn this side breathing but it is very anxiety inducing.
TRUE. Its really tough and all water makes me choke so hard, I just dont feel like trying
Justin - the giraffe neck and watching the ledge were super helpful tips. I am a beginner and I was able to easily swim twice the number of laps with this technique.
Our pools don’t have indicators on walls so we look at chicks walking or sitting on the edge instead😂
c6786 lol thats a pretty good indicator where the walls are
ha ha
I have a swim meet today
our pools don't have the chicks either #India
Na.. Then ur looking like a giraffe
Do you know I tried side breathing so hard so I broke my neck
Your sense of humour is so refreshing, Justin! 😂🤣 Thank you for the helpful content! 👌🏿
Thanks:)
Your videos are so informative yet entertaining, the swimming instructions have really helped me. Needed something for low impact cardio.
Best breathing lesson!!!!!!
Thank you! Which goggles are using? They look very comfortable!
So its ok to have a little bit of water on our mouth ? When we do side breathing?
Do you breath out through your nose? Also do you inhale and exhale 100%?? Thanks
This explanation for side breathing is the best. Maybe you can add some video about the timing of the side breathing. In which time we can should take a breath (late breath/early breath). Thanks Justin
Thank you for the best explanation of how to practice how to breathe great video has not been explained in such detail to me before.
I've always strugglesd with side breathing. I shall try this and let you know how I got on!
Justin this is great that you made this video, I’m taking swim lessons and I’ve been to 5 classes. I never learned to swim right as a child, now I’m 47 and I’ve been to 5 classes and still have not got it down yet, however your video has really helped me out, I do wish we had more time in the pool during the session. They are $48 dollars here for 8 classes and they are 30 minutes
Mrs. L here in Sydney is $250 for 8 classes 30 mins session
Wow Mrs L, I am also curious where do they do 8 classes for just 48 bucks. Thats the cost of individual private class just one time
Ofcourse u can practice on ur own without classes at ur apartment pool or gym pool
12 yrs old and trying to swim, this is giving me some confidence. 🙂
Can’t wait to try that tonight I think that’s what I needed on the brand new swimmer at 49 years old
How was your progress? I assume you are a good one now!
Keep going! You can do it!
@@fhaider1973 he drowned
I did drowned it first I revive myself practice the stroke on the side breath and cut about four seconds off my 50 yard lap time pretty excited
@@GC-wc8wj thanks for the update, gonna try it myself. hoping for the best
He was more useful than my trainer that I paid 100 dollars for and all I gave him was a like and subscribe
Can't believe I aced this thing when I was learning. I was in my 5th grade and my coach was really happy when I was able to do side breathing perfectly.

Glad that I find a friend like you in so many ways like me. 😊 Keep going, Justin ! You are doing a wonderful and influential job! 👍
Joyce Tay Really feels like an actual person to person instruction
shall i keep my mouth little open inside water? or the mouth be fully closed while exhaling under water?
There is just one problem with me, I want to learn swimming really bad, focused on my breaststroke and freestyle techniques but when I start to take a breath water goes into my mouth and I suffocate. Any help?
Your teaching helped me a lot 😊
Thank u so much.. u r so cool... Keep it up.. 👍
I usually completely rotate my body 360 degrees and take a breath as I look up at the ceiling.
Thank you so much!!! I needed that to take baby steps
Only problem i face by doing like that is i get water in my mouth as soon as i take my head out of the water so there is no time to breath in because water is in mouth.
This has helped me so much! I tried this drill today and I feel comfortable breathing freestyle now!! Thank you so much!!
Great tips! Thanks! Btw, anyone knows what goggles type and brand he is using?
Thank you,thank you I have been struggling with this skill for sometime Not until I watched your video did I finally get I’ve got! You’re awesome
Great tips! How do I stop water from entering my ear which is on/in water while side breathing?
Ratanjali Jain earplug
I actually freaked out when got a bit of water on side breathing. Even though I am improving I find myself out of breath after first 25m
Monika Golianek me too
It takes time monika no giving up
Monika Golianek same bro but I’m getting better and so will you with hard work
I know! It's panic inducing, and I've been swimming since i was 9 months old! I've mastered the breast stroke, butterfly, and backstroke, but the side breathing is the bane of my existence! On the upside, I've learned to hold my breath for 2 minutes, just to avoid side breathing!
WillaRose Soaps ahahaha I’m on swim team now in my school and I’m a butterflyer and breathstroker funny thing is I learned to swim last month
I’ll do this drill tomorrow.
I’m just beginning to learn how to freestyle swim.
Thanks for the great video, my son is just starting and he is struggling with side breathing. This has been the most helpful video I have found. I am going to take him to the pool tomorrow and try out some of your techniques
Is that your own private pool? You seem to have it all to yourself everytime you swim
My gym's swimming pool is almost always empty around 12AM and 9 PM.
M 35 and learning. Not able to take out mouth but will try it like you told baby steps. Yes, I am a slow learner of 🏊 cause I fear water. Thank you Justine
Only water goes in my mouth when I always open it to breath 😪
Sharon Devapriya same here
Archana waghela learnt now???
I didn't learn yet😪 if u did plz gimme some tips...
Sharon Devapriya try to breath on strong side of your body.
Me to
@Jerry Perry oh OK ty...
I love swimming but im not good at it and it dosent help i have some phobia of water filters and lights and stuff
You don't even know how much I needed this kind of video.
Can you teach next step how to swim with head outside water?
Thanks I like the energy you put into the lesson. Where can
I get a tight swimming cap? I am down to 5. Water always slip through.
I look sideways. But half my nose is still in water and when I try to breathe I can't control the water that goes into my nose ! .
The most helpful vedio I ever been thank u sir
U helped me very much
Even my weak English language.
سلطان الشبلي you Arabic ?
I am Lebanese
First time in this channel and it’s hilarious. Thank you for this content I subscribed and shared your channel
What do I do if it’s swimming lessons and my swim teacher doesn’t let me do it
you are very good teacher sir..thanks God i found your video...i'll try your advice this weekend..i'll inform if i'll be able to learn.. :)..but your advice is very diff from others i saw/hear..i think your idea are way way better :)
how do we prevent water from coming into our ears during side breathing if we don't have cap or ear plug or any other means?
Ear plugs are available in shops selling safety device for construction workers. There are different models originally designed to protect our ears from noise. The one made of solid plastic with a flexible plastic string connecting both plugs is most suitable. I have not try those made of foam. I think foam could absorb water & usually does not have string connecting the plugs, difficult to find if you drop it on the floor or in the water.
what’s the music you put at the start?
What should I do when the water gets into my nose? What should I do when I choke because of water that got into my mouth or nose?
Thank for the good video session.. i am novice in breathing...try to get it...i will follow ur suggestion.. thanks again.
Someone looking at me while swimming
me; 7:10
Hi Patrick, Thank you for useful tips. I was trying this for 2 weeks and Yesterday watch this video and today i did it, truly happy and get confident today.

practice! practice! practice! :)
Justin Patrick Thanks so much for your response. I'll keep on practicing. Thanks again. 😊
Thank you so much for taking the time out to carefully explain this every step of the way this helps out so much
How do you keep from inhaling the water?
Chanah Liora Wizenberg it usually comes with practice but I'd recommend blowing out just before your head goes above water before breathing. However still exhale underwater through the nose as usual
RUclips knows exactly what I'm struggling with 🙈
thank you Justin.. i will practice it when i'm on the water
join our group: facebook.com/groups/442458012814220/
Yes no more excuses for me. Like your Instruction very helpful, breathing is my handy cap right now
But I can't do it in OPEN WATERS, the turbulence affects me
What should be the time interval between two successive breathe?
Great help - especially practicing breathing before the swimming. Keep up the great work.
Thankyou Justin! Very helpful!
I tried doing it and the water gets into my nose.coz my face is half under the water
Explanation is great though I had to fast forward a few times before getting to the part where he actually started talking.
I think the best drills are rotation drills like shark drill
I don’t get it how can you breathe with some water in the pocket of your mouth I e been practicing and water ends up all over my mouth throat nose while the water is getting splashed around me it is so hard!!!!
Thanks. I have been spending time in the gym. And I wonder if that is doing something to my neck muscles as I have been having difficulties with breathing technique. Have you ever experienced similar problem...do let me know.
In triathlon swimming you look to the front when sighting to see where you're going in open water, momentarily ;)
My mind & my body are doing two different things when I'm trying to swim front crawl 🤣 Your videos are really good to help connect the dots 😊
Although i find it difficult to find the air pocket & worry I'll drown if i keep my head low 🤣
Excellent!! Thank you
:p
Thank you for doing this video!
I'm in love with all ur swimming pools dude🙌💖
I am excited to try on Tuesday..will let you know
very good video
Good instruction. I will try it.
Thanks..Great tip bro...
Thank you
I'm teaching a friend to swim and these videos are a great help.
I tried it for one day but got lot of water through nose... I think I need more practice
i was having difficulties i will try this sunday but is it different from seawater
You are the first person who actually explained its normal to have water in your mouth. I still don't feel sure about how I will inhale without inhaling the water that's in my mouth, but can't wait to try tomorrow!
nice, keep us updated on your progress in the group: facebook.com/groups/442458012814220/
