How do you breathe when you swim?https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/8076/how-do-you-breathe-when-you-swimDuring freestyle...do you exhale through your nose or your mouth? I find it awkward just breathing out of my nose so I usually exhale mostly through my nose but let some air out of my mouth as well. What do you do!? What is the &quot;correct&quot; way?

It&#39;s not something I analyze (in the way, for example, I analyze every picometer of stroke).
