breathing with one goggle in the water

One of my goals for this year is to learn to breathe (freestyle) with one goggle in the water. As it is, my form/balance is ok (I don't lift my head for air) but I rotate more than I need to. Are there drills for this? Or is it simply a matter of trial and error? For those of you who do this well, what do you see when you rotate to breathe? Is there a specific focal point that helps? Or do you not look at all? I asked one of the elite swimmers at my pool, and she said, "I don't know, I keep my eyes closed!"

  • just relax and turn your head enough to get a breath. your mouth just barely needs to be out of the water. concentrate on your lips and mouth. figure out the least amount you need to turn your head to get air and not water. Breathing water is a very bad idea. You'll get all choked up. Ande
