In this video, I will show you and tips on how to breathe when swimming freestyle. Have you always experienced choking on water every time you turned your head to breathe when swimming freestyle or front crawl?

Watch the video and you will see how you can are able to maintain a much better streamlined position when you are turning your head to breathe.

I saw a tip in another video and it seems very important. I tried it and it made so much sense and it’s this. Don’t try and exhale all your breadth in the water as this will exhaust you and you don’t do this in normal situations. Try it.. sit down and breath in normally and then force all your breath out. Do this a few times and you will realise how abnormal it is. It’s the same in the water.

Breathing properly is my biggest challenge while swimming and has made me almost give up on mastering freestyle swimming. This video was very clear and motivating --as well as funny🤣
Thank you 🥰

I started swim learning at the age of 36. I learn floating, kicking and arm movement in 3 days. But I am struggling to take breath. I stand up in water after every 15 metre to take breath and then start again. Whenever I open my mouth for breath lot of water enter my mouth and nose. Now hopefully I will master breathing also.
Thanks for making this video.

🤣🤣🤣 I’m that adult choking on the water. I’m definitely going to practice your technique. Thanks so much !

I just started swimming laps again, it’s been about 4-5 years! I had the hardest time breathing, no structure, blowing air out through my mouth and the gasping for air when I turned my head to the side…I totally forgot how to breathe correctly! Thank goodness for your video, I’m going swimming tomorrow, now I remember my training as a kid. Whew!

Joseph, I love your humor! It really helps me to remember what you are teaching. I am a motorcycle and bicycle instructor and that works there as well. My freestyle technique is improving but I'm struggling with breathing in that I feel like I won't get that next breath so I feel a panic. I can snorkel all day with no issues but sustained breathing for multiple laps is not good. I am an avid cyclist so my cardio is good.

If you have panic or it is difficult for you to hold your breath for 2 or 3 strokes, it can be helpful for you to pratice a breathing pattern before starting to swim. Then when your head is underwater you just focus on your preset rhythm. It relaxes and assures you that you actually can hold your breath so much longer.
Until winter 2021 I had major panic issues whenever I turned my head underwater and kept choking. This is what helped me the most to overcome my fear. Now I swim 3 times a week and it is really fun.

Thank you so much, this is so clear and useful! I saw the most complicated and poorly explained examples before I found your channel. This is perfect

[spants]

Honestly, these very basic instructions were all I needed! Thanks so much :)

[Cinemachoicefilms]

Love this it's a great tip. Thank you from Brooklyn NYC

[debbieklose]

Omg 😂😂😂 this is so me trying to breath while trying freestyle. Ok I’m watching this one to see what he has to say 😊

[kaitlynrosa]

This was super helpful! Thank you so much!😊

[haroldfrancis.rockybrother]

So simply taught us brother. Thank you.

[tbs]

Thank you!!! I've been trying to find a video that described breathing like this forever!! This was exactly what I was looking for

[ConnieWms]

Of all the swimming viedos I've seen yours is the best for me because you take your time to explain and you demonstrate. Thank you for that.

[swimnagiyogi]

Great demonstration for a beginner and intermediate and even a regular swimmer for improving or correcting stroke and style. Simply.superb sir

[steviem]

Thanks for the tip. This surely helps when dealing with waves in open water. You are correct on the rotation of the body to help breathe better. Practise and good form helps tremendously.

[steinunnblondal]

You are great! I love your spirit. Thanks for the good method and inspiration.
