Oh, HELP.
I am a lifelong swimmer haven't competed since 1993 but do 1.5 miles a couple of times a week at the fitness center.
My left shoulder (breathing side) tends to get sensitive towards the end. I know this is because I am breathing every stroke.
Any advice about how to wean myself off this disgusting lazy habit? I know it would be better for my stroke (and my workout, and my overall time) but I just get so oxygen hungry!
Comments appreciated!
Air is good. Try breathing every stroke, but always breath to the southern or the western end of the pool - that is, breath on your right side going down the pool and your left side when you come back up ...
That's exactly what I do! :banana: I used to be a left side-only breather, but I was determined to learn alternate breathing. But, when I'm tired, I don't last long; I need more air. So, I do what you suggested. And, by doing so, it has helped me to be a better right side breather. I am now comfortable breathing to either side.
