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)
kick.
keep your head looking straight down (a more natural standing straight up and looking straight forward, but in a pool type head position)
try using a pull-bouy to keep from sinking
