Stud - Something that really helps me - a fellow breaststroker (used to breathing with head up and no water nearby to be inhaled as it should be:p ) - is to really tuck my chin down and look at my feet until I am ready to breathe again. It is still hard for me to get used to looking at, and diving toward, the water while trying to breathe, but if I can do that and inhale only air :agree: and immediately tuck my head, I almost feel like a real Flyer!!!! I am getting stronger and do many more good strokes than bad now, but it is still a struggle for me, just not as much as one.
