Hi,
I recently got into swimming competitively a couple days ago (the Olympics will do that to you, I guess). Since I've just started, I'm trying to master the freestyle before I move on to any other strokes. However, I have found it incredibly difficult to breathe. Whenever I try to take some air, I tilt my head to the left and inhale. But, every time I have done so, a nice stream of water fills my mouth. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I'm hoping it is as simple as changing the stroke that I breathe on, but I honestly don't know.
Thanks a ton,
