Breathe Like This to Swim Smooth

  • I tried swimming with two breathing techniques and the differences were huge. With one technique I felt heavy and desperate. With the other one I felt light and calm. Breathing correctly is THE main obstacle to unlocking a smooth swim.
    From the outside, swimming looks simple. A beginner looks at a swimmer and thinks, I can move my arms and legs like this. When the beginner gets into the water and tries to swim, he discovers two things.
    When trying to raise the legs, the breathing becomes more uncomfortable and the level of discomfort increases. Instead of finding a better way to breathe, the beginner focuses more on the legs and arms. This is a big mistake. Breathing is something we don't usually think about. We mistakenly believe that it is an automatic bodily function that should not be messed around with.
    00:00 - Why is it hard to swim?
    00:52 - De.Nise doesn't like swimming
    01:37 - What happens when we breathe?
    02:30 - A-Aron teaches De.Nise to calm down in the pool.
    02:55 - First step - breathing for smooth swimming
    05:03 - Second step - breathing for smooth swimming
    06:26 - Third step - breathing for smooth swimming

    Dear, I started watching your videos to learn swimming. I am 37, I dreaded water, and had been trying to learn swimming all my life. But there was always a wall, I always thought “maybe next summer”, but this year I learnt swimming without a trainer, learnt to breathe under water, thanks to your videos. Being able to learn swimming, esp the breathing part that increased my confidence tremendously even in other walks of life. Thanks again.

    For me, the biggest takeaway is keeping 60% air in the lungs even after exhalation. Makes sense, because exhaling 100% is like doing a blowout in the middle of the stroke and that'll cause the body to sink.

    Thank you for this honestly. I'm now on 8th session(total of 10 swimming lesson sessions) and I'm struggling with the breathing. I watched this before my 8th session and even myself was amazed how efficient the technique you taught. I was swimming the other technique with exhaling constantly while underwater and it's so hard for me this previous sessions. This video is easy to understand too. Thank you so much! From Philippines.

  • @bandee90
    @bandee90 Před rokem +21

    It also depends on lung capacity and your decision about per how many strokes you want to actually inhale. If I go 3-5 strokes per one breath, then I tend to exhale during the strokes at a very low rate, and then before rotating and breathing, I exhale more forcefully, but not to completely empty my lungs, just to be able to breathe again. When I go more than 5 strokes per one breath, I'm more likely to hold it or just occasionally release some little bubbles. I think individual convenience is a thing that can also be reached by instinct, you are the one after all who truly feels what is good for him. I don't like rules, I just do it all by instinct. (I'm not competitive so I can afford that :P)

    • @thkatandi

      That's been my issue. I can do 3-5 strokes but i now realise after this video and your comment that i have been trying to take in too much air, thus putting me into panic mode, like i'm not getting enough air. I'm going to try this tomorrow. I love swimming. So technical, i just love it!

      How is your swimming coming along? I learnt a really good tip for breathing. Try one stroke then one breath on the opposite side. When you get used to that, they two strokes with one breath then try three strokes with one breath. Worked wonders for me. I'm 54 and just started last month. So if i can do it, you defo can!!!!

    @23max232323232323 Před rokem +9

    I've always held my breath for some time and then exhaled. Swimmers and instructors have always told me it's wrong, that I should exhale as soon my head is underwater slowly for the entire time. I've always felt more comfortable holding the breath for some time and then exhale underwater before I breathe again, it also helps me float better so I kept my wrong technique. This is the first time I hear that my technique is not wrong.

I remembered taking swimming lessons in college but no one had told me how to breathe correctly like you. I have been struggling with the rhythm because I cannot time it right with inhaling and exhaling. I am excited to try not to exhale completely like you said. Thank you master😊

  • @einzeltier
    @einzeltier Před rokem +6

    As a diving instructor - and swimmer - this was particularly interesting for me.
    I always struggled to get my head around the opposing benefits of less CO2 (exhaling as much as possible) and the loss in positive buoyancy when doing so in swimming.
    In diving hypercapnia (too much CO2) can become a serious issue, hence when feeling discomfort in breathing underwater most of the time the solution is focusing more on the exhalation and getting that CO2 out of your system.
    Having trouble swimming comfortably at a steady pace for longer distances I applied this knowledge wile swimming, trying to exhale more than it would feel natural to me - knowing that this would cause my torso to sink - and did not feel more comfortable.
    I will definitely try a minimised exhalation technique on my next swimming sessions :)
    Thanks!

      @23max232323232323 Před rokem +1

      When you hold your breath you keep the oxygen and your body starts making CO2, so you keep a sort of balance between the two. If you exhale immediately after you've inhaled you end up with more CO2 than oxygen and at the same time lose buoyancy. I've had various discussions with swimmers and instructors, they always told me holding the breath was wrong, that I should exhale immediately. But I still do it my way and after this video I always will

    @LaLtheGaL Před 11 měsíci +4

    Neat. My swimming improved profoundly after becoming a Freediver. I naturally started doing this breathing technique because it felt natural for me to hold my breath while my head is submerged. I was often confused when I heard people say that you need to exhale slowly while you swim. Holding your breath until the last moment definitely feels much easier.

    • @geroutathat
      @geroutathat Před 8 měsíci

      I think the problem is, the breathing out slowly was a "trouble shooting" device. If you get everyone to do it, then you can move onto the next topic, legs, arms. What mostly happens is they forget to tell you "now you can swim, we can move onto different and better ways to breath". We are all a little different though, and the main thing we need to realize is holding, or breathing out, not to empty the lungs, to breath at your swim pace or swim at your breath pace. Personally I dont like holding my breath, I walk around most of the day with my lungs empty. Sitting here, I breath in, almost immediately start breathing out, empty (its not really empty there is still some in the lungs) but breath it out, then sit for a second or two before breathing in. So for me, I like to breath in the side of my mouth, start blowing out like a silent whistle straight away, then take another breath in two strokes... I have noticed that breathing out in a silent whistle its impossible for me to empty my lungs within 2 strokes.... saying that, i think the one in the video would be better to perfect, also, trying other ways to breath really does help I think, makes swimming less stresful when you realize you can breath different ways.

    These efficient breathing techniques have some carry-over to hiking... I used to breath out through the mouth while going uphill, but switched to nose breathing only and the CO2 management and recovery was much improved.... I'm not suggesting that swimmers only do nose breathing, but placing focus on efficient use of O2 and CO2 control can make swimming and hiking a lot more comfortable.

    Thanks for this video. I'm a bit confused as I always read you shouldn't breathe too deep because otherwise the upper body would get too much propulsion, preventing a streamline position. I'm doing one breath per 5 strokes usually.
    Also I tried to teach myself exhaling steadily but do not really feel comfortable with it. It's worth experimenting with these new suggestions - something that I'm gonna put on my plate for today's session.
    Great channel by the way in general, thanks for all the inspirations!

    Hi, thanks for the great info. Do you have advice for someone who uses nose plugs because water keeps getting in & its quite painful

    I discovered recently practising the retention of breath for 5 stokes that I could optimise my power by pushing the belly out giving some kind of compression on the lungs. It is called Udara Banda in the traditional yoga of Patanjali. This technique gave me the power to swim 50m dolphin without loosing my breath.
