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!

Last fall I watched Michael Klueh of Texas go 15:15 for a 1650 (:55.45 pace). He was just playing around, but he was breathing every stroke the whole way as well as taking a breath into, and out of, every turn (except the last 50 where he dolphin kicked to the 15m line).
This breathing pattern is something I've observed in most elite distance swimmers. That being said, at the elite level they all have great turns with excellent streamlines off the wall. Also, I'm sure in practice they do plenty of hypoxic breathing patterns and dolphin kicking off the walls.
Oxygen is good.
