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?

Well I'm glad your replies confirmed this is not a necessary step to learn breathing. "Baby steps," that's what I thought, perhaps for someone never putting his face under water. For those who have never heard of it, I read it in quite a few places but here is one I can find for now.
