is it ok to breath every 4 strokes when doing laps?
Former Member
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.

Thanks for the replies. Since i'm just getting back to it (been to the pool 8 times last week.. crazy) I'm trying to take it really easy and the pool in my gym is only 25M's so of course its doable.. anything over 50M and i breath every other stroke or so.
I'm trying to get good technique and i'm having difficulty maintaining a good flow when breathing... maybe i should get the total immersion DVD?
