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
See what is faster for you.If I am swimming distance free I tend to slowly exhale.If I am sprinting I hold my breath.Holding your breath will make you float higher which may be faster,but if it is at the expense of tightening up you may be slower.Again,see for your self as this is definitely a YMMV thing.
