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?
I've read that Lenny Krayzelburg used to tilt his head back so that water was at the tips of his goggles and sometimes a thin film covered his goggles, this works much better for me, but I'm not sure if it's affecting my rotation ...
