Does Pool Depth have an effect on surface turbulence?
Former Member
I noticed that I really struggle breathing on backstroke in shallow pools (e.g. 5ft deep) because when there are a bunch of other swimmers, there's TONS of surface turbulance and I have trouble keeping my face above the water.
Should I just tuck my chin more (possibly risking my legs sinking?) or maybe try a deeper pool?
Does anyone else have this problem?

So Donna, how do I make myself swim higher in the water and stay streamlined (i.e. legs not sinking)
