âNo breath holdingâ. Once I understood and learned this important factor everything changed for me. It goes against everything we were taught growing up, which is hold your breath while under water. A swimmer should be constantly breathing. This video is spot on. đ
Great video and good angles showing it.
That might be a gaming changing piece of info. Can't wait to go to pool and practice. Thanks a lot!
How wonderful place to swim. Congratulations!
This is great. Thanks a lot. Is there a video somewhere of the breathing to the side with a kick board bit and then the bit where you start to add arms but still with a board -or wouldnât you recommend this?
Maybe overthinking it is also a problem. My breathing has always been fine while swimming but just lately I seem totally unable to get it right. After a couple of sprints I am absolutely puffed. I feel like I need to breathe every other stroke, and if I miss a breath then I'm gasping for air on the next stroke. No idea what's going on, but this video is well timed! Thanks as always.
Hey, I think its time you guys updated your playlist. Have one for running, cycling and swimming seperate.
Also the race vlogs and challenges.. I love to watch those, and the older triathlons you have participated in but its difficult to find them. A playlist would be better
As someone who used to swim competitively in 50m races I would breath 2/3 times in short course pool but in training I'd normally breathe every 4 to my left
I have an opposite experience. I've been constantly breathing all my life and my endurance has been bad (100m freestyle at most). Recently I have tried to hold my breath most of time andy endurance increased much - something like 250m freestyle.
Thanks James, now I wish I was amphibious. Haha
Always been a challenge đ©
Iâm in my 5th week and still having trouble with the breathing. Always seem to swallow/inhale water at some point of only 25m. Then feel out of breath after . Itâs harder than I thought it would be. Iâve been watching tons of videos on breathing. But still having trouble
I m no great swimmer, but I breathe towards the shore to avoid the waves, and hopefully thatâs on might right.
Must you always breath out completely or partially?
I know I need to keep 1 eye in the water, but I can't get myself to do this since I (either do or afraid I will) get a mouth full of water. So instead, my entire head comes up when turning to the side. I know this is bad and that my hips/legs sink. I'm a brand new swimmer (at age 57). Any drills or other suggestions I can work on to get me out of this poor habit? Thanks!
A lot of the videos talk about a trough in the water caused by your head, so the water is actually lower at your mouth than it is at your eyes. This is somewhat speed dependent, so if you're really slow, that trough may be nonexistent. I had the same issue as you, and what worked for me was not worrying about the fear. I guarantee you'll feel the first trickle of water into your mouth and you'll be able to turn just a bit more to get your air. If not, you can always just stop and breathe on the next stroke. I've found a good way to gauge my alignment is to look at the lane rope when breathing.
@@jaydesimone4297, thanks!!
this makes so much sense now. I was trying to both exhale and inhale while being on the side and never having enough time to do both! As a result could never go for more than few min like this. Not sure why I never even though of exhaling under water :facepalm:
I can only breathe on right side all the time! Is it normal? Just can't turn left and breathe.
I always gets confused. One should release air through mouth or nose what is the ideal way ?
Exhale from nose first then once your face is out on the surface move your lips little just enough for your mouth to be cleared so you can breath properly.
Ive been coaching for 12yrs now.
