It's been about 8 days since i got back to swimming, it's still hard for me to get good momentum and i feel the most comfortable when i breath every 4 strokes. When i try to breath every 2 or 3 strokes i completely lose the momentum and find it much harder to swim smoothly. Is that alright? how do i improve my swimming flow? Thanks.

    I would say if breathing every 4 strokes works for you then that's fine. As for flow, I guess my question to you is how long has it been since you've gotten back into swimming? If it's been awhile, You may want to concentrate on endurance and working on a good strokes. Make small reachable goals at first, then go from there.
