Does anyone have an advice or inpit for building up your lungs? I am trying to hold my breath for longer periods after reading an article about it but it seems like I should be doing more. I want to get better before I actually join the group in my area.

    I thought that maybe the best way to swim is to go with what feels right to your body, and leave it on autopilot as much as possible, no over thinking, no indecisions and hesitations, just enter that primitive brain inside our ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny style evolutionary process that starts out as single celled organisms, moves up in the womb to odd aqautic denizens floating in our own waters, and so forth. Tap into the wisdom of our incommunicatie forerunners, and hope for the best. I really like this intuitive approach. Despite my attempt to identify and classify every motion associated with breathing, I seriously doubt I could master all of this in a conscious/reductive process. Maybe in naming some of the breathe-control associated movements we can be aware of them, but when swimming it probably is more effective just to be the fish. Zen and the art of aquatic propulsion.
