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 once read something that made me realize how important getting all the air out was. Take a deep breath and breathe out 3/4 of it; now without exhaling the 1/4 that is left in your lungs, take another deep breath just like the first. Kinda uncomfortable isn't it? Who can swim with that uncomfortable feeling in their chest?
