I just started swimming with a new group. The coach told me to hold my breath while swimming and only breathe out right before I take my breath. I had always thought you were not supposed to hold your breath while swimming, breathing out slowly while swimming instead. Advice? Thanks

I release the air slowly (at a pace commensurate with how long I intend to keep my face in) and I never wait until I'm about to die to take the next breath. I find both of these help me stay more relaxed.
