Hi I really mean when is the right time to exhale. Should I slowly exhale while swimming or should I hold my breath until I need air exhale and then turn to inhale? Thanks for helping out this newbie

    I change my breathing technique. It can be slowly out or explosive breathing. In rough water you could almost turn on your back to get a breath in and I have done this on occasion. Learn to breathe on both sides. The main thing is to expel some air before you breathe in don't just breathe in. Don't breathe in through your nose. Don't breathe in underwater... Don't breathe in your arm pit. Breathe in the trough if you can. Either equalize the pressure in your nose or expel some air out through your nose when breathing out. If you blow all your air out your mouth don't let water syphon up your nose.
