Thank you for this. I have been floundering around in water all my life. Even had lessons as a kid and could never put my head under water without fingers pinching nose. I tried your techniques last night, working with kick board, then eventually on freestyle and breaststroke, and I am able to swim! I will keep working on my technique, but it was awesome to learn this. I swim almost daily for past month, feel like I made huge strides. (I'm 54, so high time I learned!)

[@FaresKsebati]

You are so welcome! Good luck with your progress and happy swimming!

[@MedEasyAnas]

I've seen countless videos on freestyle breathing, and this is definitely one of the best. Will try those drills. Thanks guys! Really appreciate your video!

[@fksebati]

Breathing is fun :)

[@andystakauskas453]

Not breathing is not fun

Binge watching your videos. I have started swimming a bit more seriously I wanna learn it the right way and I also want to be confident swimming in open water :)

[@FaresKsebati]

You can do it!

[@bonitahopkins2958]

I am a senior citizen who learned to swim in high school, years ago. I am starting to swim again in current time. I am having the hardest time with my freestyle breathing. Thanks for this lesson video. It's encouraging until I locate a personal swimming teacher.

[@soumyasengupta8311]

I always try to watch this video after my swim session to correct every mistakes that i commit and this works like magic. Thanks again man!! P.S.: Loved the underwater jig

[@watetumatu3017]

I tried this today after struggling for a while, and it works. I managed to breathe without inhaling water💪💪

[@zeldamorgan9260]

New swimmer, struggling so much to breathe, I'll try these

[@megroth5240]

I incorporated your suggestions and it helped me swim freestyle more efficiently.

thanks for addressing this part of swimming

[@letiesmiles1801]

What an excellent teacher !

[@FaresKsebati]

Thanks for the kind words! Happy swimming :)

[@monilark]

This is my absolute nemesis. :( A lifetime fear of swimming that really boils down to not being able to get the breathing down. Even looking at the video gives me anxiety. Nonetheless, the tips are very helpful!

[@FaresKsebati]

Glad it was helpful! Keep it up - we hope you can overcome this!

[@monicajenkins4687]

A "lightbulb" went off in my head...Breathe on my side instead of focusing on turning my head...

This helped a ton when I was racing with my dad hes an expert btw

[@cheyenne1235]

I got hired at my town local pool for the summer and I have to get lifeguard and cpr certified. I’m not very good at swimming laps so I’m training at a rec center and am learning how to breathe. Hopefully this video with help

[@trinigirl86]

This is what I really need to learn and get comfortable with

[@FaresKsebati]

You've got this! Happy swimming!

[@maweshionline3976]

Thanks very informative need more videos

[@norasardar]

Thank you

[@arpitsingh4177]

Do we exhale and inhale both at the same time when we lift our head above the surface or do we inhale when above water and then exhale underwater? Is this how it works?

[@FaresKsebati]

The most efficient way is to inhale above water to get all the air quickly as possible and exhale underwater! That way you don't spend so much time breathing!

[@subtitledEN]

You only have like a second when your mouth is out, so use it to inhale. A tip: start exhaling as your face gets back into the water, this way you avoid having water getting into your mouth or nose.

[@lema4198]

Thank you for this! I’m learning how to swim currently and the breathing is the hardest part for me😩

[@FaresKsebati]

Glad it was helpful, Lema! It takes practice and patience - you've got this :)

[@winterystorm]

This was good, but I still don’t know the best way to let the air out when my head is in the water, is it through mouth or nose, is there a technique to it like slow release? I really don’t like the noise of the bubbles under water but do I need to let the air out under water or can I let it out before I breathe in?

[@FaresKsebati]

Hi there! It’s more efficient to blow air out underwater so you can only focus on breathing in when you turn your head for air. Try holding your breath underwater if you’re not breathing every stroke, then release the bubbles through your nose before you breathe!

[@My_Journey]

Just a question for you about the blowing mechanism through which I must blow air underwater. It does not work for me

[@midou528]

Never took one lesson in my life and I learned all of this by myself. It’s all about practice, trail and error.

[@FaresKsebati]

Way to stay dedicated! Happy swimming!

Love your content, thank you so much!!! And... ut oh... I just noticed that your shirt decal shows the wrist above the elbow... maybe you already know that?

[@dreamlanddentalorthodontic8175]

Hi, Great videos. How do you get 800 more resistance water vs air. I read 10% more and 8 times more. Do you mens 800% more? Thx

[@tirarifc5081]

Thank you very much for the video! When should I start lowering the extended arm when I breath? Is it when I return the head to look to the bottom? Thanks!

[@FaresKsebati]

You're welcome! Yes, that's correct. Breathe with your pull, and as the same arm recovers, return your head to the neutral position and begin the next arm pull :)

[@tirarifc5081]

@@FaresKsebati thank you! Do you have any video explaining this coordination?

[@Miss0nix]

Yes please 🙏 it 🙏 😍 😀 🙌 😄 😊 🙏 😍

[@salekupimisandale]

Every time I turn my head to take a breath water gets in my ears and it feels really uncomfortable. Are there any methods to prevent water from getting in?

[@stevepayne85]

where did you cover inhaling and exhaling technique? I mean using nose/mouth inhale or nose/mouth exhale technique and their drills.

[@Bursucul98]

Hello. I have one question, how to exhale and when to exhale? Cause i cant breath if i do not exhale.

[@holly7869]

Thanks for these vids. They are a big help. I signed up for an adult swimming class...I have until April 1 to learn how to breathe...'cause I'm guessing my mask and snorkel won't be welcome. LOL.

[@flipt98]

I learnt to freestyle about 10 months ago. I couldn't swim very well before (never given it much practice) Right now I'm averaging about 23 seconds per 25m i.e. 1:45-1:50/100m. I don't have an issue with breathing on my side and several coaches at my pool have commented that my technique is very good considering my time swimming. My SWOLF is about 37-40 depending how fresh i feel. My issue is the breathing rhythm, i tend to get gassed quite easily and have to stop every 150-200m for 20 seconds or so to catch my breath. I'm not sure if I'm expelling too much air and therefore not replenishing it over time hence getting out of breathe or if I'm swallowing air. I've noticed that I tender to suck air in from the back of my throat with an open mouth rather than sucking air in from my lips (i hope that makes sense). Could that be the issue? I've noticed i hold my breath as my mouth re-enters the water, because of this i don't start expelling air until the second stroke of the three strokes between breaths. Does anyone have any tips?

[@yt_9584]

I'm far from a pro but from my reading I think it's the CO2 building up when we try to hold up our breath which gives this uncomfortable feeling. I kinda have a similar problem. If your goal is to swim longer and your breathing technique is good then you can try breathing every stroke without slowing down, e.g., watch Sun Yang's 1500m. This is also what triathleton swim Chanel advertises. However, in my case breathing slows me down considerably. So I'm fast for 25m but then the drag due to breathing slows me down. But in a few weeks, I have increased my swimming distance from 100m to 400m by breathing every other stroke and not trying to hold the air in.

[@Kittyz24]

Do I need to hold breath under water to help body floating?

[@TimTekaev]

Some prefer to hold the breath, whilst others constantly exhale. Try to find your way of breathing. For me it's pretty difficult to exhale slowly. Just remember not to exhale while your head is up.

[@Kittyz24]

@@TimTekaev yes it’s been so confusing, some coaches say you must exhale constantly under water and some say exhale too much will cause body sinking … I don’t know which one is correct way, for me if I hold breath under water I feel more buoyancy but it’s more exhausting for long period swimming

[@sanaa.2195]

I just can't. My problem is that I stop kicking my feet while i'm trying to breath, so I sink and choke. The other problem is that I need a lot of time with my head out of water, because I still have a lot of air in my lungs, so I exhale and than inhale. How much air one need to have in the lungs while swimming, water threading...??

[@cake__1709]

You exhale under the water, and inhale when you turn your head to get air

[@ahcryz2543]

@@cake__1709 Easier said than done

[@subtitledEN]

Don't try to inhale if you still have air in your lungs. You just won't be able to inhale and you will feel like you're suffocating. So make sure to empty your lungs first, and come out just as you're about to empty them completely. Don't wait until you're totaly out of air, but also don't come out too early. Not easy, I know.

[@beckywebb1916]

Used to irritate me when I breathed out of my nose and the bubbles would go in front of my goggles! Then it dawned on me to look down at the stripe on the pool floor instead of ahead! 😂

[@FaresKsebati]

That's a great perspective! Thanks for sharing and happy swimming :)

[@andrewcullum8437]

But, what if you are so scared, as I am, of ingestion of water, when I try and side breathe...I don't even break the surface of the water to breathe...I just don't know if I can find the courage to try and get it right....

[@live4u609]

This makes more sense, I was lifting my head out and had to switch my arm position. There is a pocket of air, I done it on a accident.

Thanks for you , why i can't exhaling through my nose under water.

[@einooko3142]

when i try breathing i just get water in my nose and mouth.. Idk how to fix this problem

[@FaresKsebati]

Try turning your head a little more to get more air! You can also try kicking on your side with one arm stretched out under your head and face turned out of the water to mimic the breath. Hope this helps!

[@fazilmihralimeshur2657]

👍👍👍

[@chusett]

This air pocket thing doesnt apply to me I guess.

[@etherealdestiny]

how not to drink water when breathing to the sides? I am a newbie.

[@FaresKsebati]

Hi Abegail! Try practicing breathing on the wall before you take it to your swim. Place one hand on the wall and turn your head to the other side to breathe. Make sure you're exhaling under the wall and turning your head far enough to inhale air and not water!

[@IndiaC29]

If you get some water in, don't swallow. Blow it back out when you start exhaling under water again.

[@RexRaven22]

breathe at the wall to start 💦🤍
