Hold breath or breathe out?

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 breathe as naturally as I can. I breathe out the whole time my face is in the water. I never really thought about it, but I this is probably what I do too.
