Where can I buy that snorkel and board
my biggest thing is i dont know why but i just cannot release breath through my nose underwater, its like something is stopping me but im trying to do it? not sure why i practice in the bath even and i just cant do it :/ dont know how to get my body to let me to do it
Mouth or nose? I do both inhale and exhale with mouth
Whenever i breathe and get my head up my leg sinks a little and I don't feel the water splash which makes me terrified but is that normal?
😆😆"The quieter you become, the more you can hear." perfectly T deailed .
Your video is so helpful!!!!! Teaching myself , never had any formal training but I’m making the decision to get better at my 40’s lol. Plus is a good cardio , I don’t like running
Thank you for this video. ❤
Omg i just realised the black line is like a T so you know when the wall is near omggg
Going to get a kickboard on Amazon now. Thx! 🏊🏾♀️
I tried this and it didn’t work in my pool because the water level in my pool is higher than yours. The water level goes over my head. 😊
I have learned to control my breathing while swimming. I can breathe on the 4th stroke. It is when I do a flip turn that my rhythm gets skewed and I find myself gasping for air and coming up for air after the 2nd stroke and beyond until I can get that rhythm back.
The pocket thing has never worked for me! Either breathing in water or swallowing it, or missing my breath cuxz there's too much water there.
do you breath in through the nose in freestyle? i see you suggest breath out in water thro nose
Thank you! I’ll definitely try these to feel more confident next time.
I am new to swimming nd loved this video on how to improve my breathing. As a "mild" smoker and trying to quit, Im afraid of having a heart attack in th e pool. Also im 65 yrs old. Anyway, love your instruction.
Watch later
Half your face in the water means half your mouth inhaling water 😂 this doesnt help me at all
Omg you don’t stop talking just show us what to do
I have an advanced arthritic issue in my neck and am only able to breathe out the left side. I can rotate to the right but have to rotate sooo much that it throws my technique out of sync. The BIGGEST advantage I have learned and used is to look straight down and not forward… Wow what a difference it made. Thanks Your advice is THE BEST…
I too learn a lot. Question I have is at what rate do you exhale. I normally breathe every 4th stroke. I find this the best for me but at times seem to "run out" of exhale before the completion of the stroke. Is there a rule/method for knowing at what rate to exhale ?
અઘરુ છે ભાઈ
Im just a child so i run out of breath eisily
How to breathe every 3x handstroke?
Water gets into the mouth if we open our mouth before our head is in that sweet spot where it should be in order for us to breathe.
Or if we are not opening mouth more than we should
Fantastic, excellent tips, thank you!
Me too. Im gonna try my first 400m race hope this helps to improve my breathing technique
my Hands go so fast and can't push my Hands
Before: Always exhausted and would give up after a couple strokes.
After: Today I did 50 lengths and a happy dance!
(first very slowly and patiently repeating the first drill for 20 lengths then lengths without the board).
Taylor, thank you for sharing your wisdom!
Thank you!
waow this will really help …
Thanks!🤟 I was looking for this kind of teaching and advice.
“A good sip of air” no pun intended lol. Love it.
Thank you. Right now, recovering from a fall, I have a lot of fat in hips and thighs so my hips rise too much with buoyancy. I am losing weight with the Swimpro app but for now the only way to correct my streamline is to look ahead about 1 meter to keep my hips down. Is that ok?😊
very helpful, I've been struggling on my own for a while, so glad I clicked. Thank you
Thanks Mam, need to try these techniques.
I love this info! And I passed out today in the pool cause I was trying to figure out the breathing and you just sum that up for me today thank you for your content. I appreciate you and I will let you know how I’m doing. I’m new to swimming, but I love it always just didn’t know the proper format and didn’t have the money but a teachers teach me so thank youreally. ❤️
We really make me to look after dislike button fourth times
It will work only with the right body balance in the water. Otherwise I keep swallowing water every time I try to inhale 🙁
VERY helpful. Thank you. raphael nyc
Very helpful thank you!!
Tomorrow is my competition but i tiered faster
At last, I got an informative and comprehensive video ❤
One thing that has helped me a lot is taking a deeper breath. When coaches say take a "quick break" I was just sucking in a tiny bit with my chest and not taking a deep breath in using my diaphragm and really filling my lungs
If exhale when swimming, it sinks the body. So what's the position and time of inhale and exhale ?
How do you breath? Quick breath sip without exhaling?
Metade da boca pra fora da água e metade dentro da água vc aspira água. Isso não faz funciona assim.
lol, i dont swim fast enough for that little pocket in the water to allow me to breathe
Sounds good but I get a drowning feeling in the water😮
