The Easy Way To Time Your Breathing In Freestyle

[@hbdrums337]

New swimmer here. Middle age dude trying to figure it all out properly for the first time in life and I have been hoovering up all these videos. So well communicated, really interesting. Thank you. Looking forward to upgrading myself from the slow lane to the medium lane.. lol.

[@aJ-4T7]

Same here man, keep up with it. Good luck.

[@yogibear007ful]

Keep at it brother. Also same here and trying as well. 👊🏽

[@freeatlast1810]

Haha. I'm the exact same. Turning 50 this year. Never got taught how to swim properly.

[@nboisen]

Wow! Not often that one simple change in technique has such a massive effective! This is one of those. I have been struggling for some time with (1) keeping my forward hand up while breathing and (2) turning my head forward before pulling with the opposite hand. Initiating my breathing just a fraction of a second earlier, keeping in mind your "pull yourself into breathe" mantra, and everything fell right into place. Not only did it solve those two problems, but this small change actually increase my distance per stroke (as it lengthened my glide during the breathe) but also helped me coordinate other aspects of my stroke and swim with less effort. Amazing! Thanks so much for this little tip.

[@alistershipman5029]

Great video ! I'm a late learning adult swimmer and my coach picked up my late breathing and corrected it in a similar fashion. Went from a rushed partial breathe to a fuller more relaxed breathe. Other stroke aspects started to follow, but this was what got the ball rolling. To other late learner's get this right and then add the 6-1-6 drill (another great vid) and your swimming flow will start to happen !

[@bengraham3379]

Amazing! Transformed my crawl in one swim from borderline breathless to could-go-for-ages. Such simple, sound advice to pull/breathe in sync. I've been punishing myself by breathing too late all these years...

[@loutfy88]

Im excited to try this now haha

[@calebsystem3]

Was killing myself for 6 months. Couldn't understand why my shoulders were so sore.

[@ck1416]

I am liking the way you do kicks, kicks with the breathing rotate and catch, then relax with the other catch. I lack stamina when swimming, one reason is my kicks are exhausting my energy and oxygen. Will give your method a try

[@donaldaugustine6434]

I'm 73 and had both knees hips shoulder replacement and split femur with 18 inch rod and your videos have been very helpful. It has been a long trip. Oh and I was in the Air Force for 21 years. Life sometimes is hard. Thanks again.

[@RSarosdy]

What a great tip! I am going to try to put this into practice! After watching this I'm sure I've always been turning my head too late! Thanks so much! Love your videos!

[@richardmartin9961]

Thanks for a lot of great videos that have helped me a lot. After many failed attempts I started again last year to learn swimming and its going great. I am 67.

[@dipanjoytikadar]

I have been struggling to get that rhythm of breathing for so long....this video was the missing part...I watched it today in the morning and applied the technique and noticed a miraculous change in my swimming. Overall, armstroke, rotation and breathing everything fits perfectly now and I can swim more efficiently... thank you so much.

[@EffortlessSwimming]

Awesome!

[@aJ-4T7]

The content presented on this channel is amazing. Helping me so much.

[@itsfarisfakri]

Ahhh just what I need! Thanks Brenton! I’m a super beginner just started swimming a month ago and stumbled upon your channel and I couldn’t be more grateful! Learned a lot from you. You’re an amazing coach/teacher 🙌🏽

[@yousweetpotato1]

You’re so helpful! Thank you, Brenton!

[@rohithe2023]

Pull into your breath .. my god!! Just great

[@tayyabahmakda7086]

Wow, this helps all the complications that can hamper breathing ...All your videos show us ways to overcome the problem areas and ease in doing the correct steps by illustrating how to achieve the correct steps Thanks a million Great illustrations and explaination

[@anurimadey9345]

Thanq. Yes … reaching out further forward with the non-pulling arm really helped me with side-breathing. It just clicked and my head is out of water effortlessly….literally. Maybe I wasn’t rotating correctly. So thanx once again.

[@michaelcrawford5638]

It’s as if you’ve read my mind. This is precisely what I was struggling with on my non-preferred side today. And, hey presto, it appears at the top of my KZbin feed!

[@Uprighthealth]

Hugely helpful! Thank you!

[@Jumpymountain]

Awesome info yet again 👍

[@martinldavis]

Great video. I’m new to swimming and this is just what I needed!

[@medhamida8848]

Thanks for this great explanation good luck

[@chopchopbc]

Super good analysis.

[@ahmedam77]

Great video!

[@0handicap0]

Well explained, Brenton! I'm looking forward to referring to these tips this afternoon. 🏊‍♂

[@thefali1545]

thank you. easy to understand

[@tfahkry]

Great video Brenton! Thank you. I've found doing the 'Bird dog' core exercise in the gym, very helpful for training the arm to stay out in-front (without dropping) when turning head to breathe. It's also a great endurance exercise for the core, which translates well to freestyle swimming.

[@8964-Winnie-Poo]

I'm a beginner, I figure the best time for breathing is when the rotation peaks. In this way I don't need to worry about arms and it makes timing much easier.

[@samarthsubbaraomullapudi7304]

Very good tip !👌

[@trempire7514]

Based video as always! Because of you, i have improved freestyle lately!

[@Perun42]

Thank you for advice!

[@jamfortis]

As always, tnx coach💪🏾

[@MOHAMMADRIZWAN-t9k]

Nice background music

[@adammclark5120]

Thanks AGAIN!!

[@thelmaviaduct]

Any tips for doing the popeye mouth thing???

[@francesbarratt993]

Can you show how to do a tumble turn, break it down so I can teach myself? To turn I go to end of the pool and twist and turn while head up in water. I’d love to know how to do a tumble turn.

[@freakingtux]

Great video again. when i look at the arm under water, but also in other videos of good swimers it appears that there is a wiggle in the arm. this happens when the hand elbow and shoulder are at the same height. where does that come from. Also please make a video on the pull phase. i know about slow to fast but.. how do i know how hard or fast to pull?

[@guzu_p4360]

Good day, please when you're breathing while swimming freestyle, do you breath with your mouth or nose?

[@ThexBorg]

Thanks boss

[@roberthall7336]

Thank you for this. Question:do you recommend beginning the head turn to breath only once you've established a solid EVF catch? I tend to slip through that on my breathing side.

[@TheMegaMrMe]

This is so confusing. That's what I've been doing but my trainer said I should turn my head when my hand reaches the hip as I start my recovery

[@EffortlessSwimming]

Try both and see which works best for you

[@stefanba2029]

Change trainer, that's way too late imo

[@kevinabalo]

@@stefanba2029 Agreed, front arm always wants to sink asap, so get the breath while it's still out there. Bringing the face back down before the recovery is halfway through makes it all seamless.

[@stefanba2029]

@@kevinabalo Yes, taking your face back down before your upper arm passes your eyes. In order to do that, starting the breathing when your arm starts coming out of the water is too late.
