Ok, I'm trying to get more serious about swimming. My endurance is getting better with every swim, I'm working on technique, but I can't get the breathing deal down exactly.
I'm trying to breathe every 4th stoke, but I can't figure out how to breathe out under water very consistently. Should I breathe out through the nose or mouth, should I exhale fast or slow? What tips can anyone offer?:confused:
Recswimmer - I've tried alternate breathing but I always slow way down and even begin to sink when I breath on the left...any tips?
It's like learning to wink, whistle, ride a bike, etc. It gets better with practice. If it doesn't, it's not critical to breath on alternate sides. But you have to live with breathing every 4 strokes. Breathing every two strokes is probably too disruptive, though I think distance swimmers do it...
