Breathing secrets in swimming :: Freestyle Friday #4 :: chest breathing

So if you do use your neck to breathe, try this. Picture a mouth on your chest that needs to take a breath. In reality you will not have to rotate that much for a normal freestyle swimming breath, but remember that while doing these exercise it is helpful to exaggerate and then go back and tone it down while swimming. So exaggerate the rotation and without moving your neck rotate until your chest is out of the water and take a breath there. You can pause your arms while you do this. Then go back to normal freestyle and try rotating your chest to breathe instead of your neck.

I’d been taking swimming lessons and I finally figured out the breathing technique rotations. Now I can swim with more endurance.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It's really great.

Thanks for the video. Im still quite new to swimming and started trying out this technique as it felt the most natural solution to proper side breathing. Then I heard on other channels' videos that one should avoid over rotation and focus on moving the head to the side so I was properly mixed up to what I should be doing.

@Skils NT I love how you explain the Skills but can you explain how it is possible to hold the arm high when you take a breath with this rotation like you show in the video....thanks

It's both funny and really helpful. 😄🙏

As you show in this video, couldn’t it be considered overrotating? Which can cause balanse issues with the stroke.

That’s a great advice...😃

I am struggling so hard with the breathing, I sink every time I try to take a breath.
