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

    25 yards, don't exhale at all. From then on to 1500 exhale slowly so you won't have to exhale all at once but don't exhale to fast that you won't have any alveoli left to remove your excess C02 I definitely think this is a good description of what could be done with the breathing as well! Let me ask this to the forum: What is the benefit of holding your breath versus continuously exhaling throughout the stroke (or vice versa)?
