Was wondering about the following from those who regularly workout:
-For Breathing while swimming freestyle --- should you just turn your head to breathe or fully rotate your chest/thorax to take the breath?
- Also -- what kind of nutrition do you all do before workouts? I find if I try to eat something too soon (even to just stave off hunger in the am), I get a bit of an upset stomach when I start to swim. If I eat nothing then I get hunger pangs about 3/4 way through the workout.
- I've been swimming for about 20 months (after doing no exercise for about 30 years!). I usually go for a workout 3-4 times/wk. What would you recommend as a good length of time to swim on those occasions? 30min?-45min.-1 hr. ? More?
Thanks much.

Thanks a bunch.
Yeah - I'm just someone who'd like to keep the weight off and stay in condition. I've found that if you rotate more on taking the breath, it's a bit more comfortable.
What would you say if I wanted to be brave and do open-water stuff? Is there a good workout for that?
