Confused about the rotation and head to breathe thing: You think I'm twisting my body too much to breathe or I'm twisting it b/c my head is turning?
I think you turn your head too much which leads to that your whole body follows.
One good excercise to learn to breathe with your mouth half full of water is to do just that. Stand still in the water, bend forward, put your head in a swimlike position and fill your mouth to half with water. Breathe! After a while start doing small waves and learn how to tackle that. After this excercise it is typically a lot easier to breatehe with a lot of water flowing past your lips just above the surface (also remember your head is creating a "bow wave" opening up space below the water surface for you to breathe in...perfect huh?! :)
Updated my previous post with the vid of Eamon Sullivan...forgot that last time..sorry.
