I just recently started swimming. I am 57, a *** cancer survivor, but was always one to exercise until January when I tore a cartidge in my knee. In search of exercise I could do and not affect my knee, I tried swimming laps and absolutely love, love, love it! I am a pretty good swimmer, but have trouble breathing. I have been swimming for about an hour, three times a week for three months. I feel much stronger as a swimmer now, but can't seem to get past the "can't catch my breath" feeling. Any suggestions would help! Thanks

Also, try not to focus too much on the breathing aspect. If you think too hard about it the other aspects of your stroke will suffer and you'll end up freaking yourself out about not getting enough air. That's not good either.
