Help a new swimmer out — this breathing thing

[Anonymous]

I am struggling to get my breathing correct. I end up inhaling water. Is there a trick to swimming breathing? I’m trying to get a rthymn of deep breath in thru mouth down thru nose but it’s unnatural for me.

Blow out while your face is in the water, then breathe in while your face is out of the water.

yeah you just need to practice but it did feel unnatural for me as well in the beginning.

Go on the goldfish swim school website and look at the side breath videos they have.

Just do breaststroke first to get the rhythm down.

Practice while using a kick board. This way, you can concentrate on your head position.
