Mile Swim

Originally posted by swimgirl_500 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 only breath to the right side as well. I don't think it has that big of a negative impact, but as it was mentioned on here before, try lengthening your breathing intervals to every 4 strokes.It takes some of the load off of your neck and if you throw in some different strokes or kick sets in between freestyle sets, no worries. I do this and have yet to have any problems.
