  • 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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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. 😂
