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
Thanks! :D I was curious why no one else seemed to consider this possible. For example, suppose just as you have exhaled the last air from your lung, a little shark (God forbid) caught your leg, preventing your head from getting out of water in time... :drown:
Well, you still should be able to hold your breath for a little bit longer, but if a shark's got you, you have worse problems...
