3 Steps To Master Breathing For Beginners - Don't Drink The Pool

swim360.coach/
Getting a mouth full of water when trying to breathe during freestyle is not a nice experience, and for most people starting out on their open water swimming, Ironman, or triathlon journeys will experience the taste of the pool.
Swimming freestyle is not a natural movement for humans. If we have not learned as a child or swam in a club, learning freestyle can be a challenge. Doing an exercise where we need to breathe in a certain way and in a certain spot significantly adds to this challenge. Fortunately, instead of learning trial and error while drinking half of the pool, Swim360 Coach has a method to get you breathing effortlessly.

I've been struggling with going more than 25 m without stopping for weeks now. This morning, I tried out these steps and all of the sudden I was able to go 200 m without stopping for the first time ever. I still have some way to go to be where I want to be, but this was a huge improvement in just one day. Thank you so much for posting!

[@feliciapowerful6363]

Woooow hope I can relate to your experience tomorrow, I have a really big swim test

[@rizkyandiarto6936]

Whoa what a big difference from 25 to 200,. Which step you think is the hardest to try ?

This is exactly what I have been looking for. I have no problem breathing breaststroke, (I can breath out under water and breath in above water), but I am struggling so much with freestyle. So much so that I only ever swim breaststroke. Thank you. Can't wait to try this out tomorrow morning.

[@Thekidisalright]

I am on the same boat, I can swim breaststroke indefinitely but just 50m of front crawl I am out of breath.

[@Komerican10]

# Royalty you won’t want to turn your whole body or you use too much energy. Just enough to get air:)

[@downonbarbe]

yep. A trick I found is to not look directly down or ahead. Look in 45 down and keep a long neck if that makes sense. Learn to draw in air like Popeye, exhale out bubbles before breaking level and anticipate the water level so that you can almost feel just exactly how much your mouth needs to rise to effeciently bring in air. Do NOT exagerate this movement in the neck or bring it back on the wake of your stroke toward your shoulder. Your neck, rhoms and traps will thank you.

[@koushikdas1992]

So then what do you do then for swimming? Which style?

[@RickMartinYouTube]

this has been my biggest problem...out of breath after a lap or two.....I think I must be holding my breath partially or no exhaling enough .....I'm a strong runner, wt lifter but find swimming tiring and I think it's all due to the breath component.

[@swim3602]

My guess is that you are likely trying to swim on top of the water and constantly fighting the water instead of swimming relaxed and through the water rotating and stretching from side to side. Also make sure you are constantly breathing - not waiting until you really need a breath to breathe.

[@RickMartinYouTube]

@@swim3602 thank you - I'll try this today (more rotation, extending, relaxed) with a continuous exhalation.

[@lewismillar-nelson4953]

@@RickMartinKZbin how's it going?

[@RickMartinYouTube]

@@lewismillar-nelson4953 took a two month break and returned last week to lap swimming and find my endurance has improved - relaxed swimming and soft, easy trickle type exhalations - not trying to over power the stroke.

[@alwynpereira7363]

amazing video thank you! After you breath in, do you close your mouth before rotate back to streamlined position? I seem to drink most of the pool during that time. Do your breath out only through your nose? or both through the nose and mouth? I bubble right into my eyes when I breath out through the nose

[@sof4063]

I struggle with the same! have you found any answers? I remember learning to take a deep breath in and than only breathing out through the nose in the water.

[@alwynpereira7363]

@@sof4063 I have settled for the following I close my mouth immediately post breathing in to avoid taking in water in my mouth I breathe out only through my mouth This is simple and doable enough for me for now. Perhaps with experience I will ease off naturally get better and not worry about these things

[@triciarogers4052]

Exhale. Thru nose or thru mouth while under water. When tilt take a good breath. Good swimmer will snort water out so they can get a good intake breath whilst remaining streamlined

[@normanaguirree3959]

Today i swim free style and i cant even finish 50meters(open water) and then i swim a side stroke i swim 1 mile and im not even tired after 1 mile swim, i noticed the difference between that two stroke, the breathing of side stroke is like im normally breathing while the free style is i exhale my breath longer under water and im gasping before inhaling(i cant speak fluently in english) any tips sir?

[@skoizumi291101]

My body always sinks when I rotate and breath unless I go faster. So there is no way for me to do this one hand exercise. What I am doing wrong?

[@softchimp4u]

@@BEAUNYDENNY Sure, I am at it. Thanks for the encouragement.

[@katek5067]

I've had the same issue, but I'm slowly improving! Are you exhaling water out gradually as you're under water? My advice would be to try to make sure your lungs are as empty as possible, so you don't try to exhale-inhale as you take a breath in :) I'm just a beginner myself so not sure if that helps at all, but keep going!

[@softchimp4u]

@@katek5067 Thanks Kate. I will definitely try out your method. Thanks for the encouragement though. Just hoped that we could communicate more often.

[@jester874]

@@softchimp4u I'm a beginner too but today I realized that while turning my head to take a breath in I was holding my breath instead of continuing to exhale. It made a huge difference for me. So I recommend keep exhaling until the moment your mouth opens to take in air.

[@chauhobson]

I dont understand when i try this drill if i am not moving my hands and only my legs i do not move forward. Also as soon as i exhale and try to rotate i m already inside water. Please help

[@Ultraprotos]

Ok,this video is old but ill throw my question nevertheless. I watched many videos for correct breathing and most of them advice to keep half face INSIDE the water and with the other half simply inhale. In this video we see clearly that both eyes are out of the water so this is very confusing for someone who tries to learn freestyle breathing on what is wrong or right. For me I find extreme hard to keep half of my face inside water ,whilst trying to inhale with the other half out of the water ,without swallowing most water from the pool...!!! So which method is finally correct,or are both methods corrrect? ,cause another video strictly advices that keeping both eyes out of the water is wrong.
