https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/10724/aerophagiaMorning all! I&#39;ve been doing triathlons for a few years and I&#39;ve been having loads of issues with aerophagia - the swallowing of air while swimming. In the pool this isnt too bad but I still get a bad case of the burps and some bloating afterwards buten-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/177185?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 27 Jun 2012 05:37:31 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:a8d273a3-2d84-42ad-9402-ef91e0132c27Former Membersorry, double post<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/177080?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 27 Jun 2012 05:30:32 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:111dbe82-7d33-4713-aaac-dfa490cc79cdFormer Memberthat&#39;s a weird one. I don&#39;t get that, but what I do get after the swim leg is extreme nausea the first 5K or so of the bike - without fail. I&#39;ve never actually gotten sick, but I find it impossible to take in any solids on the entire bike because of it - though usually the nausea passes after the first 5-10K. anyway, one thing I do during the beginning of the bike leg is take it slow and sit up more - in other words, NOT be in the aero position. once the dizziness and nausea passes and I&#39;m breathing comfortably, I get down and start taking in calories in liquid form. another thought, are you emptying your lungs completely before coming up for air when you breathe? have you tried different breathing patterns to see if that has any effect? breathing every other stroke vs. breaking every third stroke, etc.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
