My 14 year old daughter just recently swam a 50 freestyle at 24.55. Unbelievably she took 9 breaths!!! Doesn't that seem like a lot of breathing for a 50? Does anyone have any imput? thanks, Whitney

Sounds like a lot, but maybe she has good water balance (in which case, not a problem). Most people go slower when breathing due to head-lifting/hip-sinking.
