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?

Where I goof myself up is holding my abs tight and trying to belly breathe at the same time.
I can do one or the other really well, both is going to take practice practice practice.
Speaking of practice, I think I'm slowly startin to get the hang of the breaststroke kick. Still not a lot fo propulsion, but at least I can do a few laps of kick without trying to revert to the wide kick, and every now and then I hit a good one, where I move forward with klittle mroeforce... comparatively speaking.
Few more years, and I'll get the hang of it ;)
