I have only been swimming a couple of years and had never seen the paddle on the head drill before and coincidentally my swim coach gave this to me last week. Been struggling with it all week.
Thanks a lot for the video... My coach always tells me that my breathing has a wrong timing but because of this video I think might just improve my breathing...👍👍
2:57-3:00 So Gregorio Paltrinieri does the breathing style you don't recommend ? Yeah, I observe the Italian long distance swimmer did 2 beat kick in 800m and 1500m. Florian Wellbrock is one of my fav long distance swimmers, because of nice high elbow arm recovery and his use of two side breathing, compared to Grant Hacket who only breath on the right side.
When I just turn my head to the side , my mouth doesn’t come out of water and I end up drinking water 😭 I have been struggling with freestyle breathing so much I have been practicing hard as well😭
firstly, it depends on your head position under water: if you look too far ahead it would be harder to turn it properly. try overcorrecting and look str8 below you to check if that helps. secondly, make sure the crown of your head is leaning towards the water when you turn you head. thirdly, air pocket created by your head when swimming fast helps to turn less. try fins to increase speed and get that feeling.
Hey man, I kinda get tired too fast in the water, when I breathe, it is like I need to breathe the whole time, I cant just hold it for 10 seconds. Am 21 yo and I do not smoke.
@@riderpsychopate I go slow on breaststroke but I cant, it is exhausting a lot of energy (bresthe). Regarding freestyle, I go fast and I get the breathe on side etc so I dont feel it very much.
AMV 1. Go slower. 2. Try to breath one to two lanes every 3rd stroke, then every 4th stroke and so on (I practise this with every 8th stroke), then reduce (e.g. 3-4-5-6-7-8-7-6-5-4-3). 3. Try to dive w/o fins, e.g. 4x 25m. 4. Exhale as much as you can UNDER water so you can breath in more air when your head is above the water. Good luck!
search all of "breathing" videos that Brent has produced. Maybe one of the most frequent problems we newbies have.....Triathalon Taren has a lot of them as well. You've got to slow down usually.
I am plenty happy to just hear you analyze the stroke brotha, I can live without the music. I find it bothersome, truth be told, but I understand you and/or other may prefer the soundtrack. If that’s the case, can it be a bit more of a background feature, like it is the 2nd half of the vid? Many thanks and much love.
Concerning the position, this cannot apply for swimming in the sea, right? Especially when the sea is a bit rough. I almost drowned the other day while swimming in chalkidiki in Greece and a wave came into my face exactly as I was turning to breathe. You need to see the sky and lift the head when you breathe. Any advice is welcome.

If the wave is coming from the right side, then just breath to the right. Then you won’t have the problem of getting the wave in your Face when you are breathing. And you won’t need to lift your head up.
I'm also an ocean swimmer and I also struggle everytime when there is chop. It has become a bit better lately with a lot (2 years) of practice but my pace is still significantly slower in choppy conditions than it is in calm sea. Breathing away from the waves may not be a solution for somebody who can only breath to one side (like me).
Yeah! That could be vicious! And I thought I was going to pool to escape the pounding of the pavement... which I do actually love, but my middle-aged body isn't so much. Paddles?! Yikes! Who knew?!
