KZbin reads my mind. I have this sinking.

[@dwell-on-the-past]

My opinion is that. When swimmers prepare to breath, they have some sort of anxiety, especially for beginners. This causes an insufficient rotation before the breathing stroke begins. For example, we normally need to rotate from +60 degrees to - 60 degrees. When swimmers are nervous, the rotation may begin from +30 and, in order to provide the same degrees of rotation for head to turn, the rotation ends in -90. When swimmers are tired or feel out of breath, they tend to make the same mistakes for longer breath.

[@EdgCerDlr]

Awesome. Very clear,, I thought I might not be stretching my arm enough, but this is proof that is over rotation. Thanks, great video.

[@notmyrealname6272]

Yyyyyyess! This is what I needed to see! Thanks so so much. Yay.

[@josephravu5039]

Makes so much sense when you show it like that, thanks.

[@gary4451]

Excellent...thanks for pointing out this problem and the way to correct it.

[@peaceman79er]

Amazing! This is exactly my problem. Can’t wait to try your solutions. Thanks!

[@jaskaranvirdi6622]

I am facing the same issue and was asking this problem to my coach today. Open up KZbin and , lo and behold, saw this lesson pop up in my feed! Thanks for this correction video! You are a great teacher. This video is super helpful!

[@SWIMVICE]

Awesome Jaskaran! So glad this video helped. Enjoy your practice and I look forward to staying connected through your swim practice. ✅ -Coach Mandy

[@johnwet5798]

Thk you coach , this is a root cause on my sinking!

[@rasoolmazrueesebdani8442]

Such a powerful solid lessons and service you give to the community, God bless you madam

[@MarcinFitness]

Excellent. Thanks. You are a great coach.

[@avijitbanerjee3129]

This was an extremely helpful tip. Honestly, I was facing this issue...now I know how to correct it. Thank you so much Coach Mandy 🙏

[@SWIMVICE]

Glad this has been helpful for you Avijit! 🙌✅ Best, Coach Mandy

[@brianp10c83]

Very good explanation that I can relate. Thanks!

[@brianodonnell1384]

Great lesson, well done indeed.

[@helpmereach25subsbeforejul92]

Amazing video thanks you are a great hero

[@osmary.6932]

Hi Mandy. I think overrotating is exactly what I´m doing. I will test the correction today! Thanks!

[@smann3553]

Excellent video. That's my issue.

[@Spimplicityisblue]

Best coach❤

[@wayneuy8702]

Amazing tips

[@nilofarbawa2377]

Thank you!

[@rvalentine1000]

Hi CM, BINGO!!! So now I know why…I was wondering why I sink on my stationary Superman Drill while taking a breath, but not so much while swimming as I can tell. This subtle tweak is the analysis we need to watch out for. Thanks SWIMVICE 👏🏽👍🏽🏊🏽‍♂️

[@alexandermamchur9865]

Thank You! You solve just my problem when breathing to the right side! - I'm sinking, and try to correct that by early left hand stroke. And that's even I don't breath late! And, thanks to you, now I see - that's overrotation. All because my neck is slightly damaged and can't tern to the right very easy. So, to compensate this, I overrotate to the right, and next result - sinking! Now it's clear what to work on!

[@koteletje]

Well thank you. I am just back from the swimming pool where I tried to rotate less when breathing and indeed! I sink less (but still a bit)! You can’t believe what a relief this is ….

[@kee3923]

This problem is killing me 🥹 thank you for clear explanation 🙏🔥👍🏼

[@salsalawyer]

A great tip. It perfectly explained an issue I had

[@SWIMVICE]

Great,! I’m happy you found this video useful. Enjoy your practice and let me know how it goes! Best, Coach Mandy 👏🏼🏊🏻‍♀️

[@estevaohenriquealvesdasilv5705]

Hi! Good afternoon. I'm from Brazil. My name is Estêvão. Congretulation, good video. I Learned a lot! 👊

[@gailnedd8032]

great video,

[@sandipsheta19]

Nice information

[@StephenDuncan]

This makes sense and I can't wait to try it.

[@SWIMVICE]

Enjoy your practice! -Coach Mandy

[@StephenDuncan]

@@SWIMVICE yes I did and it works. A work in progress but it definitely was the source of my sinking.

[@unclejamesx9808]

I needed this. Thanks. Still struggling freestyle breathing 😪

[@dorishamilton30]

You’ll be ok.. it took me a while.. the key for me was to relax and breathe every other set.. not every set.. when your face is in the water look down exhaling through your nose slowly.. turn head quick with deep inhale through mouth.. ( under that arm pocket ). You’ll get it..Relax..

[@mxrite]

thanks....

[@nightsfalling]

I do that when I try to breath in my left side. I’ll keep this in mind thank you.

[@dorishamilton30]

Yes I’ve been doing that and I struggle to get my breath right.Thank you so much!

[@SWIMVICE]

You're so welcome Doris!

[@fabian13333]

This will help thank you beautiful

[@notmyrealname6272]

Tried this in my practice and lesson today. I can feel I massively over rotate on the left as my right arm drops down but I’m still really struggling not to do it!

[@trempire7514]

The correct position you showed us is great, but for many beginners, they end up exhaling water in their nose! It also happened with me, but I'm improving somehow!

[@ivornworrell]

hello, is it ok to take in each breath on one side only when doing goggle in goggle out?

[@33Jenesis]

Omg I sink when I breathe on left side. Now i know I linger too long breathing and over rotate (try to clear my head above water).

[@SWIMVICE]

Yes! 🙌🏼 Glad this video helped you reveal this habit in your own freestyle. Let me know if you have any questions Jen. Enjoy your practice and keep me posted on your progress! Best, Coach Mandy 🏊🏻‍♀️

[@jamesromero3282]

Will the finger tip gliding over the surface help correct this?

[@thangbuiduc4100]

Tks for the tips. My issue is if i Dont rotate much then the water will go in my mouth when taking a breath. How to eliminate the water come to the mouth?

[@alanIrl99]

Have this problem - brought on by being told I need to rotate more. Simply could not figure out what was happening. Thank you - sincerely.

[@theeALister]

Same here, now I know what to focus on when I get in the pool again.

[@ssjbrice]

I have the same issues as @dangoran. I find so many videos on sinking legs but I find my upper body (or whole body) sinks when I rotate. When I rotate for air and I don't rotate enough, my entire face is submerged. Are there any drills or practice tips when trying to find the right amount rotation to avoid sinking and get enough air? I don't have any injuries or anything preventing me from turning my head or rotating... so I'm fairly certain if there was a drill I could practice over and over, this issue will go away :)

[@dangoran]

This is definately the problem I'm having. At least I hope this is the solution I'm looking for. I must have found hundreds of videos about the problem with sinking legs but no one mentions this. Weird. Has to be pretty common?

[@SWIMVICE]

Yes, absolutely. This is one of the reasons why I created this particular video to help those struggling with the same breathing problem. 🙌🏼🙏🏼 There is a solution, it takes time but you can definitely overcome it! Best, Coach Mandy

[@qkfk1166]

Is it important to continue kicking when taking a breath on the side ???

[@qkfk1166]

What if our legs stop kicking when taking a breath??

[@SWIMVICE]

Great question, I will address in a future video. 🙌🏼 As long as you are at least timing your kick at a minimum of a 2 beat (1 kick per stroke), then you are okay. However, if you completely stop the moving your legs or you kick frantically, then it’s a problem. Hope this helps clarify! ✅

[@qkfk1166]

@@SWIMVICE please please make a video on these 2 1 . Importance of kicking legs while taking a breath on the side and what happens when we stop kicking when turning to the side to take breath 2 . How to turn or roll on ur back to get breath while swimming free style ! And also how to roll back again to continue freestyle

[@sampearce4595]

Hi - I don't believe this is my problem though - if I wear fins then there is no problem. If I take off the fins and wear a swim belt - no problem. However if I am totally no fins and no belt - every time I go for a breath - I fall apart loose my form and come to a dead stop !

[@robohippy]

The interruption of your rhythm is a big part of that sinking, in combination with over rotating. For sure you are not swimming gallop style, and that long pause lets your feet sink.
