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

If you are trying to go fast hold your breath. Even fast backstrokers will do this, it makes it easier increase your tempo and does help with a little extra buoyancy.
