*@Skills and Talents* - Ah-ha, ha! I thought it was a _computerized reader_ mispronouncing the names, so I just wrote a comment about it. 😂 It still cracks me up. It was such a hilarious show!
Dear, I started watching your videos to learn swimming. I am 37, I dreaded water, and had been trying to learn swimming all my life. But there was always a wall, I always thought “maybe next summer”, but this year I learnt swimming without a trainer, learnt to breathe under water, thanks to your videos. Being able to learn swimming, esp the breathing part that increased my confidence tremendously even in other walks of life. Thanks again.
I’m 35 and just started swimming for the first time a few months ago and haven’t looked back. Glad I started and also learn a lot from these videos and others. RUclips is a powerful resource. Enjoy the journey, cheers. Maybe we’ll meet at a triathlon some day 😂
I tried your technique of holding breath and releasing before inhaling. Surprisingly I could do 1000 metres without getting tired, while previously I could only do 50 metres. No other coach taught this. You're like a magician..
I first tried learning to swim at 30. Just could not get the breathing right, got frustrated and gave up. I can only go as far as one breath hold can take me. I’m 45 now, and going to give it a try once more. These videos and explanations are great.
How is your swimming coming along? I learnt a really good tip for breathing. Try one stroke then one breath on the opposite side. When you get used to that, they two strokes with one breath then try three strokes with one breath. Worked wonders for me. I'm 54 and just started last month. So if i can do it, you defo can!!!!
This is probably one of the most informative swimming techniques I have come across RUclips in a long time. I’ve been swimming for 4-5yrs and I never realized that breathing a certain way can actually improve my swim. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thank you for this honestly. I'm now on 8th session(total of 10 swimming lesson sessions) and I'm struggling with the breathing. I watched this before my 8th session and even myself was amazed how efficient the technique you taught. I was swimming the other technique with exhaling constantly while underwater and it's so hard for me this previous sessions. This video is easy to understand too. Thank you so much! From Philippines.
It also depends on lung capacity and your decision about per how many strokes you want to actually inhale. If I go 3-5 strokes per one breath, then I tend to exhale during the strokes at a very low rate, and then before rotating and breathing, I exhale more forcefully, but not to completely empty my lungs, just to be able to breathe again. When I go more than 5 strokes per one breath, I'm more likely to hold it or just occasionally release some little bubbles. I think individual convenience is a thing that can also be reached by instinct, you are the one after all who truly feels what is good for him. I don't like rules, I just do it all by instinct. (I'm not competitive so I can afford that :P)
That's been my issue. I can do 3-5 strokes but i now realise after this video and your comment that i have been trying to take in too much air, thus putting me into panic mode, like i'm not getting enough air. I'm going to try this tomorrow. I love swimming. So technical, i just love it!
As a diving instructor - and swimmer - this was particularly interesting for me. I always struggled to get my head around the opposing benefits of less CO2 (exhaling as much as possible) and the loss in positive buoyancy when doing so in swimming. In diving hypercapnia (too much CO2) can become a serious issue, hence when feeling discomfort in breathing underwater most of the time the solution is focusing more on the exhalation and getting that CO2 out of your system. Having trouble swimming comfortably at a steady pace for longer distances I applied this knowledge wile swimming, trying to exhale more than it would feel natural to me - knowing that this would cause my torso to sink - and did not feel more comfortable. I will definitely try a minimised exhalation technique on my next swimming sessions :) Thanks!
When you hold your breath you keep the oxygen and your body starts making CO2, so you keep a sort of balance between the two. If you exhale immediately after you've inhaled you end up with more CO2 than oxygen and at the same time lose buoyancy. I've had various discussions with swimmers and instructors, they always told me holding the breath was wrong, that I should exhale immediately. But I still do it my way and after this video I always will
Neat. My swimming improved profoundly after becoming a Freediver. I naturally started doing this breathing technique because it felt natural for me to hold my breath while my head is submerged. I was often confused when I heard people say that you need to exhale slowly while you swim. Holding your breath until the last moment definitely feels much easier.
I think the problem is, the breathing out slowly was a "trouble shooting" device. If you get everyone to do it, then you can move onto the next topic, legs, arms. What mostly happens is they forget to tell you "now you can swim, we can move onto different and better ways to breath". We are all a little different though, and the main thing we need to realize is holding, or breathing out, not to empty the lungs, to breath at your swim pace or swim at your breath pace. Personally I dont like holding my breath, I walk around most of the day with my lungs empty. Sitting here, I breath in, almost immediately start breathing out, empty (its not really empty there is still some in the lungs) but breath it out, then sit for a second or two before breathing in. So for me, I like to breath in the side of my mouth, start blowing out like a silent whistle straight away, then take another breath in two strokes... I have noticed that breathing out in a silent whistle its impossible for me to empty my lungs within 2 strokes.... saying that, i think the one in the video would be better to perfect, also, trying other ways to breath really does help I think, makes swimming less stresful when you realize you can breath different ways.
I've always held my breath for some time and then exhaled. Swimmers and instructors have always told me it's wrong, that I should exhale as soon my head is underwater slowly for the entire time. I've always felt more comfortable holding the breath for some time and then exhale underwater before I breathe again, it also helps me float better so I kept my wrong technique. This is the first time I hear that my technique is not wrong.
For me, the biggest takeaway is keeping 60% air in the lungs even after exhalation. Makes sense, because exhaling 100% is like doing a blowout in the middle of the stroke and that'll cause the body to sink.
This was incredibly useful advice. I’ve been trying the breathing technique over the last week and it has made a massive difference. I felt a lot smoother and less fatigued over longer distances. Thanks 🙏
These efficient breathing techniques have some carry-over to hiking... I used to breath out through the mouth while going uphill, but switched to nose breathing only and the CO2 management and recovery was much improved.... I'm not suggesting that swimmers only do nose breathing, but placing focus on efficient use of O2 and CO2 control can make swimming and hiking a lot more comfortable.
I am a swimmer and this for sure is incredible advice! I am advanced and try to exhale at full capacity I don’t recommend for long distances, is my only take. Thank you for the video
sir.... u r best humble n knowledgeable person i hv ever know... i support u... whatever cooking in media... plz don't get upset.... people talks bad about others when they can't imitate their success... hv patience sir.. this is gonna be over soon..
Fantastic training! I have been swimming 5 times a week for the past couple of months and still struggling with breathing. I can't wait to try some of the tips I saw here.
Thanks for bringing up the “exhale 30% at a very specific moment”. I found this worked so well for me!! Most of the coaches I met always told me to keep exhaling but it didn’t work well with my lung capacity. I ended up only exhaling fully 100% every 6 strokes or so, then continuing with the 30% exhale pattern to fill up the lungs again. Thanks!
I dont understand what you wrote in last part. Than you still exhale 100% periodically?? Im little perplexed. I improved my style, buoyancy etc significantly over the years (although I learnt to swim freestyle only as an adult in my thirties), mainly applying things from youtube videos, mainly form Shinji Takeuchi, I do just one kick per stroke everything else pretty hard for me. But I stll have "breathless" ie I cant do few hunderds without some pauses, I pause from few seconds to 30 seconds or minute on each end of the 50m pool. I dont know is it heart problems issue, I do have some arrhythmia but its not properly medically processed yet (currently in the process but its a somewhat long process unfortunately waiting lists here are long :o ) I also have scoliosis so everything is little more difficult for me - especially to find rhytm - sometimes I find it sometimes I dont. Sometimes find rhytm and forget about some other thing ie head position. And so on, its getting better, but breathing and brethlessness part is consistent... I swim just breaststroke , a little, and mainly freestyle (1:6) ratio Now Im watchigng breathing videos and little confuised because I believe Takeuchi Shinji says exhaling 100% . I will try to achieve what this videosays, well see, it ll not be easy... BTW I dont have problem wit buoyanci at all with breathing as i breath now. MAybe I dont exhle 100%, I dont know, but I try, and my lung capacity is rather small due to scoliosis problems
@@babababa143 you might be consuming too much oxygen than your lungs can produce. Most common reason is too much kicking, then not inhaling enough, exhaling too much, or exhaling too little… the list goes on. Yep try following what this video says and swim much slower to see how it goes
@@babababa143 and yup I still exhale 100% periodically. After that I would definitely feel lacking of oxygen but the next few breaths will fill up the lungs again
i learn i lot you are great how you explain i think swimming is boring i cant swimm until was 30 years old know i learn you need so much technik in the beginning i fight the water realy now i swimm better and i see a lot of people swimm wrong
I do exactly #1; breathe out completely in the water thus out of breath and start sinking while head is out. I also either rotate too much or not enough. This explanation is what I need to try. Thank you!
@@SkillsNT it works! I just came back from pool. Holding breath seems to reduce panic, the need for oxygen, and less energy needed. I will keep on practicing until it becomes natural.
@@33Jenesis u got to exhale fully, try doing it on land, by not exhaling fully ( you would actually feel that it cause alot of stress on your lungs, as though u are panting) and see whether your body relaxes, u can also try exhaling completely only at the end of the stroke, just right before you breathe, which I think should be a better alternative
I just learned something about breathing that is so critical to me. I love water but learning to swim on my own. I remembered taking swimming lessons in college but no one had told me how to breathe correctly like you. I have been struggling with the rhythm because I cannot time it right with inhaling and exhaling. I am excited to try not to exhale completely like you said. Thank you master😊
Man I’ve watched dozens of videos and practiced a lot but was getting no where. But just watched this video before my today’s sessions and saw a big difference, I am finally calm when swimming, I almost did a 50m freestyle run 😀 I am still far from being good but this video just got me way closer than where I was, thanks for the technics!
Me encanta la explicación del proceso, en mi caso, me cansaba mucho porque exhalaba demasiado rápido, poco a poco he ido aprendiendo a exhalar lenta y rítmicamente pequeñas cantidades y me siento muy cómoda. Hago natación por salud no a nivel competitivo.
Looking forward to doing these exercises! As I approach my 70s, I am finding I can no longer swim. It was quite a wake-up call to discover that! So, although I was a swim instructor in my youth, I have lost it all and am starting over again with a goal that it may take many months to a year to regain what I once had! Thanks for sharing!
These videos definitely help! I'm a beginner and am getting lessons soon. I've watched other swimmers and wonder how they do it bc it's not easy as most would think it is. The breathing is the hardest thing for me rn.
I discovered recently practising the retention of breath for 5 stokes that I could optimise my power by pushing the belly out giving some kind of compression on the lungs. It is called Udara Banda in the traditional yoga of Patanjali. This technique gave me the power to swim 50m dolphin without loosing my breath.
That are the best tips I’ve ever heard. Thank you! Now I just need to make sure I remember them tomorrow when I’m actually in the pool at my swimming class.
Wow, Nice to see Aron joined the peers group now, who is helping amateurs & bringing them back to 🏊♀️; Wish to see One day Aron is swimming “English Channel” & demonstrate not just swimming fast and also steadily;👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing video, finally someone talking how important is breathing, its like 90% of everything in swimming, I already managed to keep calm in breast stroke style to swim relaxed and smooth and dont get tired, I mean its still not perfect but big progress… Now I am learning kraul and its much harder, I struggle tu swim 100 m without getting out of breath, its about training bractice and practice, in 3 days I made it from few meters to almost 100 meters
I think that this channel is excellent at teaching swimming. I am not a very good swimmer, however, I don't agree with this video. I think that one of my biggest problems is swimming with my lungs almost full and then only replacing a little air at a time. Try breathing like this now when you are not in the water and see how stressful it is. Plus the full lung brings your chest up and your legs down causing drag. What I need to practice is exhaling more. This will cause a more thorough exchange of air than the shallow breathing that I do when swimming with a lung full of air. Scary though
Love the clarity of explanation that calms my nerves, and I’m not a swimmer. I’ll definitely learn some of your breathing exercises. Thanks for sharing.
I inhale very four strokes. I exhale very lightly through my nose on each stroke then exhale forcefully through my mouth just before I rotate my shoulders and head.
Thanks for this video. I'm a bit confused as I always read you shouldn't breathe too deep because otherwise the upper body would get too much propulsion, preventing a streamline position. I'm doing one breath per 5 strokes usually. Also I tried to teach myself exhaling steadily but do not really feel comfortable with it. It's worth experimenting with these new suggestions - something that I'm gonna put on my plate for today's session. Great channel by the way in general, thanks for all the inspirations!
I definitely plan to try not fully exhaling as well. I was taught fully exhale but I've only been consistently swimming since April and I struggle with getting enough rotation for air every time before head back in the water.
I tried it yesterday, it improved all my strokes. Thanks! Some drills are also important, I will search your channel, but please if you have some recommendations, please send me. For example: butterfly right arm left arm both arms is a great one.
I have been swimming for 25 years now (a large part of it in a club). I have experimented quite a bit with my breathing, but my current preference for longer distances (I usually do 1000m) is to breathe every 4 strokes. 2 is just too quickly, 3 is also good but needs more practice. I have gotten used to holding my breath for the 1st stroke, exhaling very slowly during the next 3 strokes and then pushing out the rest just before inhaling. This is very comfortable for me. Where I am unsure of is, if I exhale of of the air or actually keep some in. I do feel like I need to exhale during my strokes as otherwise I do not get enough air out. Nonetheless, I will try out your tip with only exhaling about 30-40% and only in the last phase and see if I can feel any differences.
@@michaelkhalsa I haven't had much chance to try this out yet. The one occasion I tried it, it felt kind of awkward, as my body wanted to push the built up CO2 completely out, so keeping some air in was difficult. One thing to note is, that I am somewhat accustomed to the lack of oxygen, so my body does not have the immediate itch to gasp for air if my lung is empty. But even when I focused strongly on keeping some air in, it did nothing at that moment. But it might help if I practice regularly with this technique. I can imagine that it might, since you can have some oxygen reserves in your lungs.
I believe that part of the 30 or 40 percent, is not just about emptying or not emptying your lungs, rather about maintaining your energy in the body. As an exercise while sitting, inhale deeply, then when you cannot hold it any longer, exhale just a little bit and sip the air back in then hold. Continue this pattern. Do not force it, i.,e., there should be no fast heart, no gasping feeling, no dizziness at all. Keep the air down into the lower turoso. This can take some months for it to be natural, and forcing is harmful. After awhile there is an amazing calmness, and when you finally exhale, it is naturally slow, like you want to keep the energy rather than have it flow out with the breath. There is a feeling of strength and lightness. Some of this experience can be transferred to swimming, where the more you swim, the more you slip into that balance of breath and focus within. You can fully exhale in an activity or not, and choose how your internal moves with the breath or not, depending on the balance and need at the moment. Hope that makes sense. I think it is a state that experienced atheletes find for themselves, like sinking into it.
Nice explanations great video as always. Out of all the people doing swimming improvements on You Tube you people at Skill N' Talents have it nailed on properly. Thank you.
Thanks very much for your video I've been trying to learn how to breath four months now but always short of breath and drink a lot of water 😅😅 I will follow your videos hopefully one day I will discover my mistake
Perhaps (especially for long distance swimming), one can combine both? exhale while in the water continually but in a measured way, and in a burst prior to inhaling.
So I started ‘swimming’ again yesterday after three years and hated every minute of it. I hated how I couldn’t front crawl for 25m and kept sinking every other second. I hated how slow I was and how people kept overtaking me. I hated having to take breaks after every 25m of breast stroke. I’m going to keep swimming until I’m back at my previous level. Any tips?
Prac bubling inhale full exhale slowly in water to calm down 1. Always keep 60% oxygen min in lung. Ideal: Inhale full 100% quickly to pressure abdominal capacity, creat strong core-> float Prac: lightly punch stomach 1’ 2. Exhale (30% air) quickly b4 head out of water Prac: jump in and out of water, b4 out, breath out strongly 3. Wait 1.5-2’' b4 breath
I used to get lightheaded and stiff on one side of my neck. Then I started breathing on every third stroke and both problems were solved. I am 80 now and never get breathless and I feel like I am swimming smoothly.
Yo just wanna say I tried this at my swim practice today it really helped a lot I was struggling more before I tried controlling my breathing and when I put my head out the water ur right it broke my balance and my breathing was inconsistent
After breathing in, wanting to start breathing out is a natural instinct. Perhaps we combine both? After moving the head back in the water, breath out in a measured way [10% perhaps only through the nose] and another 20-30% through the mouth in a burst prior to the head moving out for breath.
you can do that if you have the control to do it. Either way I think it is best to develop CO2 tolerance not only for swimming but for life in general.
@@SkillsNT I see you point. I don't think I have that control today, for sure. At the moment, I have the 'sinking legs' problem, and holding on longer the air in my lungs would definitely help. I'm working on my balance outside of the pool [perhaps a tighter core could help with balance] as well as by using fins to get my body used to the correct position. Thank you for your excellent videos full of guidance and your response to my comment.
@@alwynpereira7363 I think you can improve it very much by weight distribution while swimming. There is some extraordinary stuff in hat "department " too.
First i would like to thank you for your simple and helpful videos. I have a problem that i need you to help me with. When i swim i move the right leg(the main one) but not the other and when im able to move it ,it is so hard and exhaustibg. I hope you answer me
How would you know how much air you are retaining any point of time. It is actually impossible to quantify. In my experience so far in perfecting my swimming skills it is more about comfort level you are able to develop by training. Breathing technique especially in Freestyle is tricky and it takes lot of efforts to master.

I do exactly #1; breathe out completely in the water thus out of breath and start sinking while head is out. I also either rotate too much or not enough. This explanation is what I need to try. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! Yes try it out and let us know how it goes.
@@SkillsNT it works! I just came back from pool. Holding breath seems to reduce panic, the need for oxygen, and less energy needed. I will keep on practicing until it becomes natural.
@@33Jenesis u got to exhale fully, try doing it on land, by not exhaling fully ( you would actually feel that it cause alot of stress on your lungs, as though u are panting) and see whether your body relaxes, u can also try exhaling completely only at the end of the stroke, just right before you breathe, which I think should be a better alternative
I just learned something about breathing that is so critical to me. I love water but learning to swim on my own. I remembered taking swimming lessons in college but no one had told me how to breathe correctly like you. I have been struggling with the rhythm because I cannot time it right with inhaling and exhaling. I am excited to try not to exhale completely like you said. Thank you master😊
Man I’ve watched dozens of videos and practiced a lot but was getting no where. But just watched this video before my today’s sessions and saw a big difference, I am finally calm when swimming, I almost did a 50m freestyle run 😀 I am still far from being good but this video just got me way closer than where I was, thanks for the technics!
외국 수영 영상을 많이 찾아보고 있는데 안정적인 톤에 심플하면서 정확한 설명을 잘 하는곳은 여기밖에 없는거 같아요. 게다가 친절한 한국어 자막까지 완벽해요. 영어와 수영공부를 병행할 수 있어 너무 좋습니다 감사합니다:)
Me encanta la explicación del proceso, en mi caso, me cansaba mucho porque exhalaba demasiado rápido, poco a poco he ido aprendiendo a exhalar lenta y rítmicamente pequeñas cantidades y me siento muy cómoda. Hago natación por salud no a nivel competitivo.
Hope to see Jaqueline and Blake in the next video 😂
You mean J-qua-lin and Be-lake?
as a Swimmer and a Key & Peele fan, this video just does the thing!
This just confirms what I figured out the other day and didn't understand exactly What I figured out!!! Thanks
Looking forward to doing these exercises! As I approach my 70s, I am finding I can no longer swim. It was quite a wake-up call to discover that! So, although I was a swim instructor in my youth, I have lost it all and am starting over again with a goal that it may take many months to a year to regain what I once had! Thanks for sharing!
And so many other things u can do in the pool/water. Enjoy!
This channel help me to improve my swimming from zero to a normal swimmer.
Everyone: Inhale > Hold > Exhale

Best online swimming teacher ever in internet
These videos definitely help! I'm a beginner and am getting lessons soon. I've watched other swimmers and wonder how they do it bc it's not easy as most would think it is. The breathing is the hardest thing for me rn.
DE NISE & A-ARON - a man of culture I see 🍻
Just started swimming, and im gonna binge watch all your swimming guide videos!
Extremely useful! The 60% air capacity is a game changer for me. I can't wait to get back in the pool. Thanks!
It took me years to learn this by myself. Great advices!
Me 2😎
I discovered recently practising the retention of breath for 5 stokes that I could optimise my power by pushing the belly out giving some kind of compression on the lungs. It is called Udara Banda in the traditional yoga of Patanjali. This technique gave me the power to swim 50m dolphin without loosing my breath.
That are the best tips I’ve ever heard. Thank you!
Now I just need to make sure I remember them tomorrow when I’m actually in the pool at my swimming class.
Wow, Nice to see Aron joined the peers group now, who is helping amateurs & bringing them back to 🏊♀️; Wish to see One day Aron is swimming “English Channel” & demonstrate not just swimming fast and also steadily;👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing video, finally someone talking how important is breathing, its like 90% of everything in swimming, I already managed to keep calm in breast stroke style to swim relaxed and smooth and dont get tired, I mean its still not perfect but big progress… Now I am learning kraul and its much harder, I struggle tu swim 100 m without getting out of breath, its about training bractice and practice, in 3 days I made it from few meters to almost 100 meters
I think that this channel is excellent at teaching swimming. I am not a very good swimmer, however, I don't agree with this video. I think that one of my biggest problems is swimming with my lungs almost full and then only replacing a little air at a time. Try breathing like this now when you are not in the water and see how stressful it is. Plus the full lung brings your chest up and your legs down causing drag.
What I need to practice is exhaling more. This will cause a more thorough exchange of air than the shallow breathing that I do when swimming with a lung full of air.
Scary though
Exactly, just try it out when doing it on land, and see which is more comfortable.
Out of the water gravity has more pressure on the chest and lungs, so it’s harder to keep 100% without the aid of water floating your body.
Love the clarity of explanation that calms my nerves, and I’m not a swimmer. I’ll definitely learn some of your breathing exercises. Thanks for sharing.
I inhale very four strokes. I exhale very lightly through my nose on each stroke then exhale forcefully through my mouth just before I rotate my shoulders and head.
Thanks for this video. I'm a bit confused as I always read you shouldn't breathe too deep because otherwise the upper body would get too much propulsion, preventing a streamline position. I'm doing one breath per 5 strokes usually.
Also I tried to teach myself exhaling steadily but do not really feel comfortable with it. It's worth experimenting with these new suggestions - something that I'm gonna put on my plate for today's session.
Great channel by the way in general, thanks for all the inspirations!
Let us now how it goes!
I definitely plan to try not fully exhaling as well. I was taught fully exhale but I've only been consistently swimming since April and I struggle with getting enough rotation for air every time before head back in the water.
I tried it yesterday, it improved all my strokes. Thanks! Some drills are also important, I will search your channel, but please if you have some recommendations, please send me. For example: butterfly right arm left arm both arms is a great one.
Yes this is the best channel and people who share liberally.
I have been swimming for 25 years now (a large part of it in a club). I have experimented quite a bit with my breathing, but my current preference for longer distances (I usually do 1000m) is to breathe every 4 strokes. 2 is just too quickly, 3 is also good but needs more practice. I have gotten used to holding my breath for the 1st stroke, exhaling very slowly during the next 3 strokes and then pushing out the rest just before inhaling. This is very comfortable for me. Where I am unsure of is, if I exhale of of the air or actually keep some in. I do feel like I need to exhale during my strokes as otherwise I do not get enough air out.
Nonetheless, I will try out your tip with only exhaling about 30-40% and only in the last phase and see if I can feel any differences.
Anything to report?
@@michaelkhalsa I haven't had much chance to try this out yet. The one occasion I tried it, it felt kind of awkward, as my body wanted to push the built up CO2 completely out, so keeping some air in was difficult. One thing to note is, that I am somewhat accustomed to the lack of oxygen, so my body does not have the immediate itch to gasp for air if my lung is empty.
But even when I focused strongly on keeping some air in, it did nothing at that moment.
But it might help if I practice regularly with this technique. I can imagine that it might, since you can have some oxygen reserves in your lungs.
No any other video or swimming coach teach me this serious technique except this video
This was sooo helpful! I tried it a couple of hours ago... it's amazing amazing! Thank you!
Thank you for trying it and for sharing your results!
I believe that part of the 30 or 40 percent, is not just about emptying or not emptying your lungs, rather about maintaining your energy in the body.
As an exercise while sitting, inhale deeply, then when you cannot hold it any longer, exhale just a little bit and sip the air back in then hold. Continue this pattern. Do not force it, i.,e., there should be no fast heart, no gasping feeling, no dizziness at all. Keep the air down into the lower turoso. This can take some months for it to be natural, and forcing is harmful. After awhile there is an amazing calmness, and when you finally exhale, it is naturally slow, like you want to keep the energy rather than have it flow out with the breath. There is a feeling of strength and lightness.
Some of this experience can be transferred to swimming, where the more you swim, the more you slip into that balance of breath and focus within. You can fully exhale in an activity or not, and choose how your internal moves with the breath or not, depending on the balance and need at the moment.
Hope that makes sense. I think it is a state that experienced atheletes find for themselves, like sinking into it.
Nice explanations great video as always. Out of all the people doing swimming improvements on You Tube you people at Skill N' Talents have it nailed on properly. Thank you.
Thank you!
Thanks very much for your video I've been trying to learn how to breath four months now but always short of breath and drink a lot of water 😅😅 I will follow your videos hopefully one day I will discover my mistake
give this man a medal
This video helped my breathing a ton. Starting to feel more and more like A-Aron every swim 🙏
I love this channel, cant wait for tomorrow practice to give this a try!
Thanks! This is a perfect video for beginners!! Amazing explanation and easy to understand! Thanks a 100x
Going to try, was taught to constantly exhale underwater
Perhaps (especially for long distance swimming), one can combine both? exhale while in the water continually but in a measured way, and in a burst prior to inhaling.
Same
So I started ‘swimming’ again yesterday after three years and hated every minute of it.
I hated how I couldn’t front crawl for 25m and kept sinking every other second. I hated how slow I was and how people kept overtaking me. I hated having to take breaks after every 25m of breast stroke.
I’m going to keep swimming until I’m back at my previous level. Any tips?
I really enjoy watching this video. Thank you
Yes. Breathing is the most important subject!!
A-Aron has come a long way he is well advanced now 😉
Prac bubling inhale full exhale slowly in water to calm down
1. Always keep 60% oxygen min in lung. Ideal: Inhale full 100% quickly to pressure abdominal capacity, creat strong core-> float
Prac: lightly punch stomach 1’
2. Exhale (30% air) quickly b4 head out of water
Prac: jump in and out of water, b4 out, breath out strongly
3. Wait 1.5-2’' b4 breath
Such a GREAT video!!! Thank you!!!
Best Swimming 🏊♂️ Tutorial Ever!!! Thanks My Guy!!!!!
I used to get lightheaded and stiff on one side of my neck. Then I started breathing on every third stroke and both problems were solved. I am 80 now and never get breathless and I feel like I am swimming smoothly.
thanks for all your videos in helping me to be a better swimmer
I’m following your tips and I can see progression! Thank you very much!
I actually thought this dude was AI generated
😂
De-nice and a-a-Ron…
The Nice and Air On
Yeah the way he says A-Aron
Hahaha @@james6401
I was struggling...
Tq so much.. Sir.. From INDIA🙏🙏
I love the low graphics and the names. Great content to!
Yo just wanna say I tried this at my swim practice today it really helped a lot I was struggling more before I tried controlling my breathing and when I put my head out the water ur right it broke my balance and my breathing was inconsistent
Man This video is really really good. Makes me want to give swimming one more chance. Respect.
And blessing.
Imma try applying this in my next swimming session. Always been completely emptying my lungs, so this is a really different approach for me.
Your videos are not only informative but also highly professional! Subscribed!
Wow
U elsborated upon my problem areas
Will try to incorporate this breathing technique ❤❤❤
Thank u guys
We deserve a full webseries on the Aaron Denise story 😆
Outstanding description and overall imaging used.
Thank you!
I find trickle exhalation much more effective, it keeps you relaxed and calm and streamlined in the water.
Very informative. I like this. Tk you.
Wonderful..wonderful...wonderfulllllllllll...keep on going
I was cracking up a D-Nice and A-Aaron !!! lol 😂
This helped me a lot thank yiu
Thank you very much for the simple step by step video. I have been waiting for it this one for such a long time.
لقد استفدت من هذه المعلومات شكرا لك
After breathing in, wanting to start breathing out is a natural instinct. Perhaps we combine both? After moving the head back in the water, breath out in a measured way [10% perhaps only through the nose] and another 20-30% through the mouth in a burst prior to the head moving out for breath.
you can do that if you have the control to do it. Either way I think it is best to develop CO2 tolerance not only for swimming but for life in general.
@@SkillsNT I see you point. I don't think I have that control today, for sure.
At the moment, I have the 'sinking legs' problem, and holding on longer the air in my lungs would definitely help.
I'm working on my balance outside of the pool [perhaps a tighter core could help with balance] as well as by using fins to get my body used to the correct position.
Thank you for your excellent videos full of guidance and your response to my comment.
@@alwynpereira7363 I think you can improve it very much by weight distribution while swimming. There is some extraordinary stuff in hat "department " too.
Technique is everything, always
I never seen a front crawl like that before. I'm gonna try it!
lots of efforts in explanation. awesome visualisation. Thanks :)
First i would like to thank you for your simple and helpful videos.
I have a problem that i need you to help me with.
When i swim i move the right leg(the main one) but not the other and when im able to move it ,it is so hard and exhaustibg.
I hope you answer me
I like the Key and Peele references ;)
This is why I'm subscribed.
I am watching while sitting I hope it will help once I’m trying it out
How would you know how much air you are retaining any point of time. It is actually impossible to quantify. In my experience so far in perfecting my swimming skills it is more about comfort level you are able to develop by training. Breathing technique especially in Freestyle is tricky and it takes lot of efforts to master.
Thank you very much.
Very clear explanation. Thank you.
Fantastic Video
Thank you very much!
Amazing! Thanks very much 😀
