I just learned today, that I am trying to gasp too much air when I inhale -> I am out of breath in 25m swim. I have watched about 25-30 ”Freestyle breathing” -videos and none of them talks about this. Today my pool session was so much better, I just sipped less air when inhaling. I love your videos. Thank you.
That’s an awesome breakthrough! 🙌 Taking in just the right amount of air can make a huge difference in maintaining rhythm and staying relaxed. So glad my videos could help you reach that 'aha' moment! Keep up the great work and enjoy the progress in your swim sessions! 🏊♂💪
Thanks Coach Mandy! I have been struggling to time my head movement pattern with my stroke and seeing this is useful. I definitely take too long and struggle to exhale in bilateral 3 stroke rhythm, better on a 5. As an asthmatic, the burst out to clear the before breathing is hard.
Perfect. Maybe to add for those who struggle to keep one eye under the water when breathing like me before this Summer, rotating the shoulders a bit more towards vertical (not the head) does the job
What helps me is to time the actual in-breath with the point of maximum extension, where one hand is exiting the water and the other is just starting to feel for the catch. Like the point between repetitions in the gym. It is the most relaxed point of the stroke, which facilitates better expansion of the lungs and deeper in-breath.
out of interest how long have you been swimming, the reason I ask is roughly how long before a new swimmer can achieve anything like the smothness of your swim, I know this depends on the individual but any ideas?

This is definitely a problem I have. Will try this breathing method at my next swim. Thank you. 😊
Good advice, audio is fine
thank you i will try this tomorrow and let you know how the adjustments go
Always strugglrd with over rotation while swimming . Hopefully I can correct that as you demonstrated . Thank you .
When you exhale under water, do you exhale through the mouth or the nose? Thank you.
