Help with freestyle breathing

I'm having trouble with the freestyle stroke breathing technique. I start off by inhaling, then swimming 3 strokes. When I roll over to the side to breath, I either end up swallowing water, or just simply sink without being able to take a breath. What can I do to fix this?

  • You could always hold off on practicing the bilateral breathing til your pull sets. The pull buoy will keep your body in line and level and maybe that'll fix the weak side?? Or even one-arm free on the weak side? Have you tried that? Unsure if that would be worse...let us know if you try that. Cheers,
