Hold breath or breathe out?

Former Member over 15 years ago

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

Perhaps the coach meant exhale earlier than at the last sec. I set up a rythem to exhale thruout the face in the water phase.
