SCY or SCM I never take a breath unless I've had to swim another event within 20 or so minutes prior. I try to slightly hyperventilate before the start. I'm really not conscious of even wanting to breath. LCM I'll typically take one breath at about 40 meters. If I don't breath that once, the need can become distracting.Rich
I like this advice.
See a lot of sprinters way over breathe in races.
I call it nervous breathing. They don't really need the air.
Thanks for the nuggets Rich - great stuff!
