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

    Well - how can put this ... are you guys blind ? The first video clearly shows that Thorpe is holding his breath the entire time that his head / eyes are looking down - then as he is lifting his head, he is breathing out - that's what most swimmers do. That's also why most swimmers can easily switch back and forth between breathing every 2 or 4 armstrokes.
