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

    Um, everyone in those videos were breathing every stroke, not every 4 or 6. If you're going to breathe every 4 or 6, I guess you would hold your breath. I don't know anything about that, since I don't do that. I suggest you actually watch the videos before you start talking down to people. And as far as the first video of Thorpe, I'm not sure if he actually stops exhaling, I just can't see the bubbles anymore. I think even you can admit that it takes an exhale to produce bubbles out of your nose.
