The single best beginning swimmer breathing advice my teacher gave was to remember to exhale underwater. It’s instinctive to hold your breath underwater, but you can’t breathe in if you haven’t breathed out yet.

I am 76 and was a competitive swimmer in HS and college. These videos are the absolute best on form that I have ever seen. I will get my resting pulse rate below 60 with the information here. Competing (and winning?) in the Senior Olympics in the 80+ age group is my goal.

I'm a triathlete and learning to flip turn has been VERY beneficial for my training for a number of reasons. My breath control has improved as I'm not popping out of the water for air at the wall anymore. I feel more engaged during an interval because touch turns always felt like a stop and start whereas flipping allows for maintained momentum. And lastly, I just feel a lot more confident in the water having learned a new skill and feel more excited to push myself in tougher workouts. Triathletes, if you haven't learned to flip turn, I recommend it!

I swim because I like swimming and it works really well with rock climbing and yoga. It’s one of the best all round sports you can do. I am not. Pro but think it as an Art, swimming is about fine tuning your technique and make more efficient and smoother. I am not a fast swimmer by any means, just better than the average person walking down the street. I swim because I love the sport and was born asthmatic, swimming has eliminated that and my hero is Phelps and Thorpe.
Max session I did was 4.6km or 92x50m lengths. I don’t flip turn or dive in the water.
Love this channel.

Got back into swimming after 12 years break. Tried this drill at 50m pool, didn't expect it to be so hard. Ended up with 1 breath per 7 strokes, a lot of room for improvement. Definitely will do twice a week, thank you for the tip!

As a swimmer (since 23 years now) i can fully support these tipps. When you have mastered all these tipps you can even cough or sneeze while swimming even constantly but it will not affect you at all in your swimming routine :). Also he exactly pointed out the common mistakes which actually people doing a lot as far as i noticed while swimming. The key to swim fast with the lowest energy input to swim fluent and calm and glide as much as possible. I actually only use my legs to have my body placed as close a possible below the water surface to reduce drag.

I'm still learning, and breathing is pretty hard for me, I always get out of breath really fast. This video is very helpful I'll try these out next time I go to the pool

Hip rotation and bilateral breathing, every 3 for me, with some work on 4-5 strokes per breath.

I have just started swimming front crawl about a month ago and at first I was feeling anxious and panicky which did not help... slowing things down and trying to relax a bit has certainly helped... and trying not to turn head as it gives me motion sickness! Unless you are going to the Olympics or are going to make a living from swimming I say just do your best and enjoy it!

I am from Australia. I grew up from a young age involved in swimming training 5 daysca week, right through my entire school years. I was a competitive swimmer and made it to state and national levels. I am now 52yr old still swim recreationally for health and fitness. I am a qualified swim instructor and licensed coach, teaching self survival from 4mth old right through to pre schoolnand school age learn to swim, right up to coaching all levels of squads including competition. I also work with teaching special needs. I'm finding your videos and tutorials very interesting and you explain the fundamentals and bio mechanics of swimming sovanyone hopefully can understand without being over loaded. learning to breathe correctly is a difficult thing to teach. The technique of single sided breathing has not been taught in Australia for a very long time, as it is less effecient compared to bi-lateral breathing. As for your comment that with bi-lateral breathing comprise s getting in to a good breathing rhythm when swimming, that is completely false. With bi-lateral breathing a good breathing rhythm and pattern is much easier to obtain, maintain and is overall alot smoother. All you other points are quite good, especially for someone that is just starting to learn

And here is yet another example that "Big Brother is watching". I just resumed regular lap swimming after a 16 year hiatus. Despite not having done any shopping for swim gear, not watching any swim training videos, etc. This video was just suggested near the top of the page by YT. Coincidence? 🙂 (Nice video by the way. Good reminders that I will try to think about at the pool today.)

Thank you so much for this. I always lift my neck which slows me down. Will focus more on breathing from now.

At 67 years of age I’ve been told I have good technique. But I have very little endurance. As the public pools are now opening up after being closed for a year and a half due to Covid all I can manage is 2 x 25 meters (2 laps) without resting. Hoping some of these tips will help me swim longer.

I'm struggling with this for a while - I'm talking years. I'll hopefully figure it out eventually. I'm a long-distance runner and weight lifter and I think my breathing with these activities might be interfering with swimming breathing. Doing sink-down drills has helped a little.

Perfect job. Everyone should pay for this knowledge :) very useful for bagginers and for intermediate level swimmers i think too. I watch your videos during every bike indoor endurance training :) thanks

Bilateral breathing when working out! Allowing for a good streamline and balance in the this sport!!!

I used to play the flute in school, so while I'm stretching I practice the warm-ups that my band directors taught me, and I've found it's pretty helpful.

Not being relaxed and people tell me they're always going to be water on my mouth when I take air which scared me to swallow the pool or the beach
