Often when I make the approach for a flip turn I'm out of breath and take a last gasp before the turn. I blow bubbles as I rotate and during push off. After this short amount of time and blowing bubbles, I'm desperate for air and can't glide very far from the wall before taking a breath. How does one learn breath control?

I USED TO HAVE SAME PROB...WHAT I LEARNED WAS TO COMPLETELY EXHALE BEFORE RE..INHALING..SOUNDS SIMPLE,but to give out that last gasp of air before re ..inhaling is frightening at times..it takes a lot of personal FAITH, if you like, to do this.I still get the same prob from time to time..
