Should a swimmer inhale into the belly and allow just the belly to expand or should he fill the belly first and allow the air to fill upwards to the top of the lungs? In other words, should the belly and the chest expand?
Please could you help me-I can breathe deeply on the right bit on the left I snatch gasp because I feel like I’m lower in the water and don’t have time to take more. Is there a way to practise or fix this? How do you practise taking a fast bit deep breath?thanks a lot.
I love how you explain in a different way the diagram when breathing freestyle swimming ☺️

Very interesting. What is a cue when you’re swimming that you’re taking a diaphragmatic or a thoracic breath?
@@elev140 could bubble out through your nose while head is in the water. Or inhale to the belly for example
Diaphragmatic breath implies outward movement of your lower abdominal wall (belly button area)
Thoracic breath is outward movement of upper chest (less volume available x oxygen intake)
