Hi,
I feel having more and more oxygen debt as doing more and more flip turn when swimming continuously. There must be something wrong with my technique, like badly timing the last breath before turn and staying too deep and long off the wall. How can you cope with this lack of air problem?
Thanks and regards!
Read through Ande's Swimming Tips. There are a lot of gems in there. As you get tired it becomes more difficult to hold your form together. Things get ragged, you waste more energy off the wall and need to take a breath sooner. Maybe practicing your break out when you're tired will help. Concentrate on your streamline, set a goal distance off the wall before you take your first breath, etc. Also, if you get used to doing a couple streamline dolphin kicks you can maybe sacrifice them as you get tired yet still hold a good streamline off the wall.
