Continuous swimming...

Hey, I started swimming in June this year. Took me about a month to learn it, I'm still in learning phase though. I can breathe while swimming (freestyle), but after about 2-3 minutes I get out of breathe...I could only go from one side of the pool to the other and back to where I started...after that I must wait for like 5 minutes until I can swim again. What am I doing wrong?

  • In addition to the above posts, I'm guessing you could be breathing improperly. Are you exhaling freely (and completely) when your face is in the water? If you can't hear and see bubbles, you are not, and that could be causing a build-up of CO2 that is zapping you so quickly.
