My coach is telling me to "just take in a deeeep breath". do you guys just do that?? breathe deeply from your chest?? I breath like I run, from my chest. I heard/read or something about diaphragmatic breathing technique.
I realize that I'm new and all, but I get soooo frustrated getting winded. I can't help but think I'm doing something wrong. He tells me to just keep going and "work it out". I'm turning my head to side, getting deep breath, I'm not sure I"m exhaling as much or right as I should and I might be getting too much air in. After 3 or or 5 complete rotations of r and left (what is that called) strokes, I bob up and am so winded. That's so hard for me cause I can run 2 relatively easy miles on a treadmill at 7 mph.

Yes it does help! Thanks. I have contacted the grandepupa (sp?) in the local swim world and he said he would love to just take me and give me some pointers and constructive criticism. He has been teaching for 43 years..my age LOL., since he moved here when he was 15. He teaches swim at a local college. and he's a good person.
He said he'd be glad to meet with me this weekend. He says this is not " in my mind" and that he will fix it for me. I feel better. I have a lil quilt over firing off at the young coach this morning, but enough is enough.
Tomorrow morning...I'm RUNNING!!!:D
