Many beginners are told that the way to learn breathing is to put their nose and mouth in a big bowl of water. I may have tried it once and didn't like it at all (granted my bowl was not very big ;)) and didn't think it could help learning breathing in swimming. Breathing in a bowl of water and breathing while swimming freestyle--when you are in continuous motion--are so different. So I wonder, did most of you learn breathing this way?
Not a bowl for me - we went into waist deep water and "talked to the fish" (blew bubbles out) and "listened to the fish" (turned to the side with one ear in the water). Guess this only works in a lake though.
