How to breathe when swimming freestyle [No more choking on water] 

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.

🤣🤣🤣 I’m that adult choking on the water. I’m definitely going to practice your technique. Thanks so much !

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 🥰

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.

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!

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.

Omg 😂😂😂 this is so me trying to breath while trying freestyle. Ok I’m watching this one to see what he has to say 😊

Thank you so much, this is so clear and useful! I saw the most complicated and poorly explained examples before I found your channel. This is perfect

i almost drowned today in the pool. ofcourse instructors were there to save me. will follow this tips tomorrow. THanks

Thank you for this clear, concise explanation ❤

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. 😂

Enjoyed the video, very much helpful, Thank you🙏 👍

Thank you for the tip. I will try to practice these when learning the freestyle swimming.

Very good info. many thanks,will get some practice in.

Thank you lad ❤

Thank you!!! I've been trying to find a video that described breathing like this forever!! This was exactly what I was looking for

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!

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.

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! 👏
