Nothing is common sense for uncoached beginners like myself. Thanks for these insights because I find breathing comfortably a big challenge at the moment.
your videos are amazing and so informative thank you so much. I followed your video about sinking legs and had chance to apply your techniques in the pool today and I felt such an improvement. thank you muchly
Everyone is different. How true that is! There’s no “one advice fits everyone”
I like breathing 3 when going fast, but only 2 when going slow.
Thanks so much for saying what suits you best with the arm strokes and breathing. That's exactly what I said to my husband about my swimming and not be so focused on what I have been told
I'm trying to be more bilateral!! Good info here, and good to know that my breath every two strokes is a common thing. I have a half ironman coming up, so I'll try to work on switching breathing sides during my training so that I can use that in my race!
Really good advice. Now I won't feel guilty not breathing every three strokes:)
Primarily a bilateral breather, but will change it up according to what l am doing. For open water bilateral helps with keeping in a straight line and sighting.
Thank you so much. Ironically as a newbie to front crawl, I never thought I could change my breathing pattern from every 2. after turning and then maybe every 3. or/and 70%/30% right/left. Always thought it HAD to be every third. Great insight. I think it will be much easier next time in the pool. Instead of fitting in the -every third time - I'll now try a pattern that fits me. Thanks again, mate :) All best Peter
I often switch sides each lap based on the sun’s position because it gets in my eyes.
Well educated advice.
THAT is helpful. 3 is not enough oxygen for me. Thankyou so much for your Videos!
Your hand entry is the best
Great advices! And for sprinting races up to 100m breathing can be even every 7 or 9th stroke
MrAlex actually it’s the best idea you can execute as sprinter
Definitely not 7 or 9 for a hundred free.
Try every 4 otherwise you’ll cook yourself early and will struggle in the back end
I breathe every two regardless because I find that beyond 100yd I crash from exhaustion. However, if I am only doing a 50 yd sprint then its every 4-5. I honestly believe it is "Whatever works for you". Look at Caeleb Dressel; he breathes every two I believe.
I'm a runner doing swimming for cross training. I have a tendency to want to breath every 4. That way if I don't want to do 2 I could still breath on my right side. Is that a bad thing?
After 3 years of freestyle swimming I am going to change my breating pattern from 1:2 to 2:3. By coincidence I noticed I was going faster with the same effort. I could allready breath bilateral every 3 strokes but never incorporated it during my triathlon races because of oxygen depletion. So like I said during some training laps I noticed a time gain with a 2:3 stroke. This will I hope give my rolling, pulling and lateral muscles a better balance. With less drag as a result.
Just curious to know how that's going for you 3 months on?
Nice catchup stroke
Well done on your Rottnest Channel swim!!!
For long distance swimming which breathing patterns comes to play
how do you master breathing in every stroke like in this video? do you exhale out completely when your head is in the water or exhale the whole time or when your head is coming out
As a coach will give my swimmers that advise.
Great! I was doing every four strokes bc I take a long cookie break to get the air... taking too much time to breathe and gulp air. ...how about just breathing more often? Yes. Thank you!
Haha me too I was doing 4 and couldn't do it continuously this makes so much sense and tried every 2 and I found much better!
Hey Brenton, like you I prefer breathing to my left side in a 1.5-2km race but my most recent one that meant I copped several mouthfuls of water because of the direction of the waves and current. I tried to keep my pace while breathing the other way but slowed down. Felt like a choice between swallowing water one side or swimming slower by breathing to weaker side. Any advice?
I always breathe every 3 stokes when when racing in open water. Breathing every 2 strokes is surprisingly hard for me
I really struggle to swim straight in open water. Breathing only to one side might be the cause. But I am quite unflexible to turn my head to the right side. Do you have ideas how to make the head more flexible in the neck region to make breathing to both sides easy?
Great style and fantastic vids. One question though : at 2:32 why are you opening your mouth underwater right after breathing? Seems like you're trying to emulate fish :)
Good
Thanks, this is useful to know. What about the amount of air to breathe in? Been swimming 5 years now but think in the past I may have tried to gasp in too much air. Recently I breathed in less air every two strokes while sprinting and felt much less out of breath. Is that just me? Would appreciate some advice or a video on this topic. Thanks for all the great content
C H Its much better to take in less air each breath because if you take too big of air the next time you go up for a breath there is still left over air from your last breath, its carbon dioxide build up that never gets flushed. But the quick breaths flushes all the carbon dioxide completely out for the next breaths which in result, you’ll be less tired and less fatigued
So, when you’re racing for say a mile or less, are you breathing every stroke? Basically just breathing to match the metabolic demand of the activity?
Hey. Have you ever trained someone with one arm? My left arm stops just after the elbow. Was curious if you have any tips specifically for front crawl.
If you can take certified swimming instructor at least for 10-12 sessions. Preferably someone who will enter the pool with you.
Am I seeing this right? But isn't the swimmer breathing only to the right side? What happened to bilateral breathing? What did I miss?
Mi potresti spiegare la cosa, molti dicono che respirando da entrambi i lati abbiamo più equilibrio come rotazione o quantomeno saper respirare da entrambe i lati è importante, a me respirare ogni tre o a sinistra lato debole è problematico, vorrei imparare ho provato tanto ma non riesco a trovare la strada giusta, mi puoi dare dei suggerimenti grazie
i always do every 3 just because i feel most balanced that way
Great videos…. Extremely useful tips! I need a clarification.. when we bring our face up to breathe it’s too small a window for the ‘diapharagmatic breath’… so how exactly is it done??
Not sure you got breathing correct but you dont need to bring your face up or lift it. Instead just rotate as your body turns side to side. As soon you rotate there will be enough gap to sip quick air and proceed with normal stroke further. Blow thru noe4 and mouth and when breathing in use mouth only
It's easier and more natural for me to breathe to the right side but I'm faster and get more distance per stroke breathing to the left side 🤔
It also feels like my left arm catch is nonexistent when I breathe to the right but comes out when I breathe to the left. So in an effort to become a faster swimmer, I'm forcing myself to breathe to the left and it sucks.
bilateral breathing is good sometimes
I like this video, showing the swimmer for a good length of time, under water, and above. Really gives a good view of what is preached to be the "proper" way to perform freestyle. Showing the modern catch, and glide technique. However, this swimmer who appears to be practicing, isn't following the advice of this video. In that he's breathing on one side, and every stroke. But we understand the intent being advised. :) Thanks for posting.
He mentioned that you could do a full lap breathing out of one side and the switch to the opposite side for the next lap. That is exactly what was demonstrated here.
Sometimes I get a really bad headache when I was starting out trying to learn bilateral breathing. Is this common?
Not really. You might be moving your head off the centre line or the top of your head might be high/lifted, jamming up your neck muscles
I'm so used to breathing to my right, that when I breathe to my left, my left arms feel really uncomfortable during my catch
Do you ever recommend breathing on every stroke?...that is, I been breathing on the rt side every recovery there. Thanks
I was wondering the same thing. I'm not competing, just exercising, and use-ta do distance events. I use my drivers side for breathing, but try to vary...sometimes. But not comfortably.
I feel like that would be brutal on the neck
I like every 3 or 5 since im not racing. 2 or 4 feels like your limping
Nez do maj adon kavucn svimig torjna. Goro
is breathing every 4 ever recommended by coaches when training? it's what i've always defaulted to when practicing, besides switching it up with breathing every 3, but i've never been a fan of breathing every 2
Yes it can be great particularly when swimming at aerobic effort
I was wondering about those pauses too
Why didn’t you talk about 4 stroke breathing? From the time I first learnt to swim it came very naturally to me, and I’ve never considered 2 or 3 stroke methods.
It's bad if you swim at a slow speed which is usually the case for new swimmers as you deplete your oxygen
I heard Simone Manuel swims 50 m in one breath. So I thought breathing often is clunky, inefficient... unlike gasping for air and drowning.
Isn't this swimmer only breathing on the right side?
Should the swimmer be pausing his kicking when taking a breath?
07Corcaigh not at all, your legs will sink
This is a four beat kick technique, that was presented by "san yung" who won the gold medal, in 1500 m free style race.
I'm always breathing on the left and always every 2 strokes - I tried once to breath on the right - I nearly sank as I had to fight all my muscle memory, pretty much stop mid stroke - it was hilarious. Since then I've just resigned myself to 'fuck it - 2 stroke it is for me'
I breathe every 5 sec
Prais the ubil covek hektor ke kasam deka si ubil covek no no
Don't agree that this swimmer is creating too much drag?
The problem I have is breathing 😿😿😿guys pray for me cus tomorrow I have water text
