What is the exact exhaling underwater in freestyle?
Former Member
Will you help me guys, im confused what should be exact to exhale in underwater specially in freestyle? Is it exhaling through nose or exhaling through mouth? I would appreciate any advice. :confused:
you can exhale more out of your mouth, but more controlled out of your nose. I would tend to think most people use the nose because of the control issue. Plus, when you get in open water, breathing out your mouth requires you to open your mouth and risk getting that nasty water in there. Personally, I exhale prob 90% out of nose.
Try a few laps using one, then a few more using the other. See what feels most confortable and natural.
