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:

    ... I'm working on technique, but I can't get the breathing deal down exactly.... What tips can anyone offer?... I've found Yogic Breathing exercises to be really helpful. i've posted on it here: Flotation is Fundamental – Good Breathing is the Key as mentioned, there are a number of other threads on breathing. here are a few i stumbled upon: Breath on one side or two? Breathing Breathing??
