When I need to breath more air , I would drill longer n trying to straighten my whole body & then ready to recover my other arm higher to get my shoulder power drill for gliding.
I'm a beginner swimmer. From my experiments with balancing breathing with body balance and position, it appears that it is more important to get the breathing rhythm right, and over time, get the body balance right (to sink less while breathing). Does anyone have any feedback on my observation? I do believe that balance (and efficiency) can come only over time with experience and strengthening of muscles.
thanks for your video.
as a beginner most would lift up their entire heads to breath leading to dropping hips.
after some coaching, I was told to look to the side (not the ceiling/sky) however in doing so i try to keep my entire head in the water when taking a breath.
This usually leads to 1 of 2 things.
1. worse case but seldom occur, drinking some water
2. rushed breath, which leads to lack of air, which leads to panic and releasing of air and looking for intake of air again
but what you said was absolutely true, when taking a breath, i notice my leading hand would start to drop, leading to a poor pull
It's important to learn to breathe bilaterally although you may favor one side or for lack of o2 ..it develops strong muscles on both sides and prevents injuries
Omg my breathing technique is holding me back
I will definitively give a try! Thanks.
This is literally the only thing preventing me from making it across the pool. I will try this at my next swim lesson!
This is really helpful. Thanks.
I solved a year-long problem breathing to my left. Turns out my down kick was driving up legs and pushing my head down at a bad time.
When I swim open water, I just prefer to pop in my frontal snorkel… much more enjoyable, particularly if the sea is a bit choppy.
Thank you for this!!!
Last year (2022) I could barely swim 50m and ended up quitting. 20 years ago when swimming at school I could swim for an hour no issues. Trying again now (2023) and I'm breathing every two strokes enough to keep calm and my pb so far is 1000m no breaks (stopped due to tired muscles which is fair enough). I'm just over 2min per 100m but taking it slow and calm to build endurance and enjoy swimming instead of being angry huffing n puffing or drowning. The most important part is showing up to swim and the rest slowly comes with time and practice.
Very good clip. Sorted my left sided breathing. inadvertently I was pressing too much
what you taught wasnt wrong for beginners, but you are comparing technique for the elite with beginners. Different freestyle strokes
Breathing properly conditions practically everything in water so thanks a lot but it would be nice to get some closeup examples from the swimmers
Popovici at Roma 2022 has his entire head out of the water when he breathes. I was always taught to have a steady position for the head and rotate. A few of us on the team are going to try more of a looping motion like Popovici.
As someone who has been playing with breathing and stroke I think the biggest difference you can make to your stroke is breathing just getting the timing and position of the head movement does wonders for the rest of the stroke
so basicly voda means water
How come pro swimmers lift out of the water when they breathe? Makes it look like they're galoping in the water.
How the 🔥 do you NOT start rotating your upperbody before the catch is developed?
I'm finding it hard as a new swimmer to find the right time to catch and purge…I keep gulping water 😄
Any suggestions concerning Aerophgia
Id say when I get a good catch and power phase, my head doesn't raise itself, however the axis of my head/neck/back torso, are all positioned slightly above the water (edited) line. This puts more of my face/mouth out of the water without exaggerating any neck bend. I find if I'm swimming more comfortably at a slower pace, then I tend to keep my face deeper (because my whole body isn't lifted out of the water), but I turn my neck almost looking back (like checking a blind spot when driving with the chin moving towards the shoulder on the breathing side). I think its important to note its not really the head lifting more, vs the entire upper body being lifted more out of the body due to good form (which is what's happening in the elite clips you show).
