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

Keep in mind that the relaxed exhaling during the stroke is only that, it has no influence in your performance, but might make you distressed by the stronger urge to breathe once you have exhaled completely. Once you have exhaled completely, your strong urge to breathe will hit you fast. I speak not as a swimmer, but as a gas passer....billy(passing gas professionally and sometimes on his own)fanstone
I agree that you should not completely exhale all of the air while your face is still in-water. In my opinion, you should be controlling the rate of your exhale so you have enough air to continue a controlled exhale as you are rotating to breath.
P.S. That is absolutely the best line that I have heard, "passing gas professionally and sometimes on his own"...excellent!
