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!

I just got back into swimming a few months ago after an almost 2 year break. I started swimming around 1993.
I still have to get back to my old shape and realized a lot of my usual workouts I have stored on my computer are still a bit too tough so the flip turns get exhausting after I'm halfway through my workout. I tend to do a flip turn in one side and a normal turn to catch that extra breath on the other side when I start getting tired. Over time the body will get more used to it.
I also do an occasional 25 yard under water swim to improve my lung capcity.
