Okay, I swim the 500 which is a considerd a mile. Well my time is setting at 10:15 flat. My coach says my problem is that i breath every two arms, and I can only breath to the right. I'm wondering if anyone has an idea on how i can improve my breathing, or my time. Thank you, and sorry if i posted in the wrong place, I'm new. Thank you

I can't even run a mile in 10 minutes.... I'm so confused about the first post. First of all... I don't know a high school that would have any pool longer than 25 yards or meters. Plus, a 500 would never be considered a mile... after swimming 500 yards... you still got a long way to go girl! I don't mean to be rude, but maybe your coach gave you some incorrect information.
With the breathing thing... work on drills like the last post mentioned. In swimming a mile, 1000, 800, or even the 500... start to work on breathing every 4 or 5 strokes... keep a pattern to keep you on track. Get in a rhythm because you got a long way to swim.
Good luck.
