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.

    Dare we suggest a DVD without selling a product, There are several out there, The good TI, Swimsmooth, GoSwim and I really like the TriSwimCoach online ebook, 37 dollars, download it watch it within five minutes, also lots of free stuff. I have TI, Swimsmooth, Goswim, DVDs and the TriSwimCoach ebook, I only have them so I know what they are talking about. Better than a DVD get to a swim instructor for personal or group lessons or join a masters group. here is a list of other sources swimming.about.com/.../
