Breathing techniques?

I learned these techniques as a competitive swimmer during my childhood. After a 10-year hiatus, relearning breathing in the pool wasn't "like riding a bike." It took some time to develop again so I can understand that it must be really difficult to new swimmers. Pawel Lewicki from Total Immersion can help you simplify this process with 4 Steps to Easy Breathing in Freestyle. Do you struggle with breathing during the swim? Do these steps help with the issues you've been facing or is it something else?

Re: Breathing techniques?

Swim drills are important for all of us, no matter how much experience we have. It helps keep us focused on our ever-important form!

When learning and drilling breath, it helps to understand that body roll movement is also key. The rotation of the head and body movement along the sagittal plane helps with the rhythm of the breath.

Re: Breathing techniques?

I found the greatest thing... Olympic Gold medalist Natalie Coughlin has workouts on iTRAIN.com. I tried them and she gives you specific coaching, and great breathing techniques...

YOu can find these at www.itrain.com under her gold workouts. Also it comes with a compatible video that shows the strokes.

Re: Breathing techniques?

As a newbie swimmer I understand and trying to get the breathing part right. Ive read numerous articles on breathing techniques and almost all of them conveyed that first get comfortable with water, like sinking unafraid and breathing out under water by forming bubbles,etc.

As of now Im in a phase where Im easy inside water and able to breath out comfortably under water without panicking.Next step being actually inhaling the next breath, yet to get there, still practising and playing in water
