[quote=Anonymous]I never learned how to swim properly. I can get across a pool with something that looks like an awkward combination of dog-paddle and crawl, but it's not graceful. I'd like to swim better, but I'm really stuck on the breathing tempo. I'm taking a breath every second right-arm stroke. But by the time I'm halfway across the pool, I'm gasping for air. I end up having to keep my head up for a couple strokes to catch my breath, even though I don't feel physically tired - more like I'm hyperventilating. Is there a breathing technique or rhythm that is more effective? Is this something that a good swim coach could help figure out? Or do I just need to keep doing it and I'll eventually get used to it?[/quote]
