In the finals of the 1500 at Worlds, I noticed that all of the swimmers were breathing on the first stroke coming out of their turns instead of taking a pull with the deeper arm and breathing on the second stroke. Any thoughts?
Must ... get ... air ...
:agree: I have tried and tried to take a stroke off the wall before breathing and can only do it on the first turn or two before I must...get...air! Even on easy swims, I give up on that idea after the first few laps.
Back in high school, I did it every time and breathed every 4 strokes regularly. But, as I have aged, I MUST breathe every stroke, due to diminished lung capacity. :cane:
As a breaststroker, the most difficult thing for me is the last pullout on a 200 race. :afraid:
