Yoga and Swimming
Isnt this the biggest bulls**t ever?!?
Its imposible to use the knowledge you get from Yoga in swimming because the BASICs of Yoga are on nose breathing
I agree that both yoga and swimming share flexibility... but
that doest have to do with anything cause the main problem is breath. I dont know how can people put these two together
I almost drowned NUMEROUS times, and now i am completly starting to forget yoga
just so i could learn how to swim right.
feel free to comment

Payydro,
You lost mean again. Yoga is about using deep breaths to assist with movements, deep exhales to assist with stretches in particular.
Swimming also focuses on deep breathing because, hey, you only have you pie hole above the water for a brief period of time (if you swim properly) so you better inhale deeply when you get the chance. Similarly, you want to thoroughly exhale while you mouth is below the water because when it clears the surface, INHALE baby. Think about the extended discussion of stroke length in other discussion threads. Think about what that means. Longer, more efficient strokes means fewer strokes per length of the pool, which means fewer breaths per length of the pool. And don't get me started about holding my breath until I turn blue after each flip turn when I do it right, and a 25 yard pool feeling like a bathtub that never lets me recover from extreme O2 debt after each turn.
Are you pulling my chain, and I'm the only one who hasn't got the joke yet?
