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 🥰
Have you tried a pull buoy? It helped me a great deal to coordinate stroke and breathe. They tend to keep your lower half a bit higher in the water, so you might drink the pool a couple of times as you build arm strength and coordination.
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.
Try this: swim a length of the pool breast stroke, to get into the rhythm of the workout… then switch to front crawl. I’d never done breast stroke before but I tried this and it worked quite well.
Beginner here, learning to breathe....This is THE BEST video I have watched so far!!! It is easy to understand, simple, quick to the point, easy to remember!!! Thank you 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!
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.
ikr, i did the same and it worked, there were days in which i was annoyed by the times i had to go to swimming classes but now i enjoy them a lot ! i even go by myself in my free time.
What breathing pattern to practice plsss say ? Today I got literally out of breath and I choked myself worst situation and my trainers were so cruel they told me "it is all drama" 😔
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.
Thank you iv been learning to swim at 42 and finally can but need practice with breathing thank you once again. I'm really enjoying myself don't know why od didn't do it sooner. Will re watch this because it will be helpful.
Thanks @Swimtopia! I've been swimming my whole life, but the nuances of the breathing technique you explained help. BTW, wherever you are is BEAUTIFUL!
I learned how to swim using a snorkel. And I have been so scared to try without. But your video has given me the desire to try and to overcome the fear!
Today me and my coach found out that I’m a natural freestyle swimmer! 🤗 I was struggling learning frog style supposedly the easiest one, so my coach let me try freestyle, and I did it just in one try! 😁🥳 My coach was literally shocked! Now we just need to perfect the technique 😊 Me and my coach believe we are all natural swimmer, at least in one style, so keep trying! 👏
Hi joe i am beginner ...i have spend 4 days still struggling to take breath while swimming. Today watched your video and definitely going to apply your trick from tomorrow onwards.
I always swim with my hand above the water or under the water cuz I’m terrified to try to breathe like that 😂 I’m gonna try to overcome my fear using your tips!
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.
Thank you I can’t swim n everytime I get into the pool I’d hold on to the concrete of the pool the whole time I’m just afraid of letting go and not be able to float and drown 😭😭 but that’s why people tell me “ you gotta learn to float to know how to swim “ now I know how to hold my breathe above water but I’ll practice these before I let go 🤣❤️
I don't even know why I'm binge watching swimming guides, I learned as a kid and can swim perfectly fine. I guess I'm intrigued what makes swimming so difficult for some people. But the Peppa Pig tho..I was almost dying of laugher. I was drinking water and had to laugh so much that I ended up gulping water just like in the video. 😂
Thank you sir, I search many videos and your videos have basic that I need to practise more about breath and turn shoulder and head in right position. 😊😊
Subscribed! I’ve got pool envy🤬 That pool is so beautiful. I appreciate your personality and how you are having fun giving us this lesson. I look forward to learning from you in your unique fun-filled style.😊
I have the exact same problem with head while doing freestyle, I can’t control neck properly and water came in my mouth. Thanks to you I realized my mistake and will try again in correct form. ❤
Your channel should be above the average Joe😅 You are an excellent coach, I am taking swimming lessons but all my advancement is due to your channel, I love the way you are funny revealing the mistakes of beginners, it make me remember the right technique when I think about them, Thanks. 🙏
I am 58 and learning. I have strength but no stamina. I can complete breadth of the pool but not the length 😢 I can swim freestyle ( with lots of errors ) and a very shoddy breaststroke I learnt on my own 😂 Thanks for these videos..shall try and improve my style ❤
58 also, and just started back about 2 months ago. I just thought that I knew back then but have learned so much this time. Keep swimming and God bless.
Thank you for the tips! Btw, the subtitle's crazy at 6:09 😂 *so these are the basic technique I've shown you to improve BREEDING when swimming freestyle*

Good point

Sige po
Wouldn't that lead to a buildup of too much CO2 in the lungs though?
It is required to exhale from nose and mouth or only nose
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 🥰
Glad you like it thanks
Very well said Ricky

Let me know how it goes
Me too...same problem..
Same problem here. I can kick, float, but breathe in the water 😔
Try this: swim a length of the pool breast stroke, to get into the rhythm of the workout… then switch to front crawl. I’d never done breast stroke before but I tried this and it worked quite well.
Have you improved now?
Beginner here, learning to breathe....This is THE BEST video I have watched so far!!! It is easy to understand, simple, quick to the point, easy to remember!!! Thank you so much!
I second that!
I just started swimming laps again, it’s been about 4-5 years!

@@shriyamukhopadhyay8882 of your own choosing, just breathe like your meditating before you get into the water.
Thanks; I was writing about this problem just the other day! ua-cam.com/video/KASE1gI7XLE/v-deo.html&lc=UgwWgNVGpYM64H9903N4AaABAg
Can you suggest a pattern in strokes or second?
🤣🤣🤣 I’m that adult choking on the water. I’m definitely going to practice your technique. Thanks so much !
Let me know how it goes
How did it go ?
Same here. Will try to practice your technique

Your slower pace of teaching and stopping, showing the right from wrong, was very helpful. Breathing is my biggest hurdle. Learning at 54 🙏🏼
Great to hear that. Tq
