I just started swimming. Not very good at it. Well, I swam in the Navy, but not freestyle. . I'm a disabled vet and swimming seems to be a great exercise without the pain of other exercises.
I am not so good at the breathing part when doing freestyle. I watched videos, and have been practicing. Some days I seem to breath just fine. While other days, like today, I think I swallowed more water than I swam in.
Should I invest in a center mount snorkel to help me while I concentrate on form, or will this be more of a distraction? Would I benefit from it?
Ultimately I would like to master my breathing technique, but I don't want to get discouraged and stop swimming all together.
Thanks
Chris
It seems breathing is the most difficult part of freestyle because rotation, alignment, flexibility and timing needs addressing to pull it off streamlined and successfully. A snorkel is a good tool to have around too.
Best way to work on the breathing is with an experienced coach or swimmer providing you with one on one feedback. Your service to our country is appreciated, good luck
