How to Breathe Swimming in Open Water

Breathing is a little more complicated in open water 😅 Stay low and breathe to the side to avoid creating more drag, but make sure to sight so you're headed in the right direction!⁠ #swimming #openwaterswimming #shorts

I’m a long distance swimmer and I feel like breathing every 2-3 strokes is good

A comment for people with long hair especially:

when you sight, lift up your head, look to the front, then turn your head to the side before putting your face back in the water. If you just look up and then put your head directly down, it can lead to your swim cap coming off during the swim, and if you have long hair flowing freely, then that is difficult to deal with in the middle of open water.

Sighting is Easy. Specially when the sun is rising and you’re swimming in a giant mirror. Luckily the buoys are either yellow or orange/red, so super easy to spot 😅😂😂

Sir one eye one ear in water..ok. But that makes half of my open mouth also inside water, and I am trying to take in as much oxygen I can. And there comes water with it. So how to go about it. Thanks in advance.

One more thing, don’t look front while swimming only while breathing if u look downward while swimming ur posture will be stable and the second thing is don’t breath after every 1-2 laps try to breath only 3-4 times in one swim so you don’t struggle for more breath
