    Just a small note: If you keep on swimming regularly ( let's say at least 3-4 times a week ), your breathing will optimize itself naturally. Without realizing you'll start exhaling just before putting your head above the surface and you will only exhale as much as necessary. No worries if things don't work out directly.

      Yeah. Another small note. If you do anything you're not used to for like a hundred hours, that thing is going to feel a lot more natural than it did before that effort ;)
      I've been struggeling with this and more of the basics for just 3 weeks, 2-3 times a week and man is it hard. Even if I got the first two exercises down, I sink like a rock if I rotate to the side and lift one arm out of the water.

    Honestly, i was quite sceptical about only begging to breath out through my nose when my head is coming up for air.
    But it clearly worked a treat, felt i had more energy and took less time resting.

  • @I.Geek.Psychology
    @I.Geek.Psychology 7 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    WOW, I have been watching a lot of swimming videos and see everybody has own techniques. Most people say start exhaling as soon as your head goes under water and keep it until you inhale again so that you don't accumulate CO2 in your lungs. What Skill NT says is totally opposite, but I am willing to try it. I guess the key is to figure it out with lots and lots of practice.

    how does one know how many percent of air from the lung he exhales

    • @DOSEDcoUK
      @DOSEDcoUK 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      well you can gauge an estimate? just thinking on my feet here, if you get a long balloon used for making balloon animals etc, you could get a pretty good idea how big it gets from a full lung exhalation, then half of that is near enough 50% lung capacity, half *that* is 25 and so that's a decent guide.
      or, in a slow, controlled full breath in and out, time it several times until each breath in or out is taking just about the same time from empty to full or vice versa (lets say 5 secs), and then divide that time into tenths or whatever, and there you can count each 10%, and get a feel for what 10% or 20% or 50% etc really feels like. so if you can time from empty lungs to full lungs as 5 seconds of smooth flow, each second is another 20% lung capacity. then if you try to just limit it to lose that final 30% that way, you'll know how it feels in your body to withhold the final 30% or so (although when practising this kinda stuff be careful to have breaks with full breathing so you don't get dizzy!)

    • @rhapsodybitch
      @rhapsodybitch 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      My question exactly. Every other trainer has a different approach. The people at SwimSmooth, for instance, are adamant that exhaling *all the time* while underwater prevents your legs from sinking too much by avoiding your chest being too buoyant. I have a feeling this is one of those things that may vary immensely depending on many factors, e.g., how many air remains in your lungs before breathing, or how fast you exhale.

    • @DanNoz
      @DanNoz 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      i actually tried to imply his advise and I am not 100% sure, but I felt great today. I wasn't able to do it all the time (getting rid of patterns takes time) but I felt that this technique made me more relaxed and led to me taking quicker breaths.

    • @SkillsNT
      @SkillsNT  7 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      +Dan Noz yes I know some people teach exhaling the whole time but in my experience you can do a better more relaxed technique with a little bit of buoyancy in the upper body. Once you dominate that, it is easier to swim at a fast pace with this technique. Like you said it take time to get rid of old habits, only through repetition you get good. Thanks for trying my advice, your feedback is really important to me.

    • @leesanghwa8175
      @leesanghwa8175 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      It's my theory...
      This breathing skill is effective for pool swimming or short distance swimming...
      The other breathing skill that you mentioned is good for long distance or open water swimming.
      In pool environment, there's less surface drag...
      When swimming short distance, you have enough stamina....
      But in open-water, there's so much surface drag caused by wave and choppy water.
      When you swim long distance, you need to be energy-efficient.
      So it would be disadvantageous when you get higher in the water.

    I was quite surprised to hear that I should hold my breath in the beginning and then breathe out just in those few seconds before I breathe in again. I tried, and it worked, but only with hard concentration. Cause before watching your video I was always told to exhale constantly under water in order to avoid anxiety. Could you explain exactly the difference (Holding or not holding your breath at the beginning)? And could you tell me why it makes a difference, if you exhale through your nose? And what was the other video you talked about?

    I have the technique to do this but after my first breath I feel like I'm drowning and I start freaking out and then when I go to breath I start taking in water and I have to stop but I'm going to the pool later to try these tips hopefully it works 😭🙏🏻

      siraj mohiuddin hey! So I actually ended up becoming a lifeguard/swim instructor and since my stroke was weak, everyday since I worked at the pool I would get in and practice swimming my freestyle and my technique only became better and better. Some things I would do is use a kick board and put some fins on my feet to strengthen my kick because that is what propels you through the water. Then I would use a bouie that goes between your legs and I would slowly swim only using my arms focusing on keeping my elbows high and my arms in a “11” position (which means not crossing over your shoulders) while focusing on breathing every third stroke. Using paddles help tremendously with this drill as you can move slower and really focus on what your arms are doing. If you do struggle with breathing every 3rd stroke you can breath on the second stroke and slowly progress. Once you start getting all the parts in motion and you are comfortable I would swim with, for example, a hoodie and sweatpants on to cause drag, this will help you get stronger and faster with your front crawl stroke!

    이 동영상을 보면 입으로 호흡을 들이마시고 물속에 들어가서도 입이 벌어져있니 입속에 물이 들어간다는 얘긴데 호흡하러 나오전에 입속 물을 다 내뱉는 건가요? 아직초보라 호흡이 어렵습니다.

    Is it necessary to make your mouth like that while side breathing to prevent from swallowing water?

    It looks like you take in a little water when you open your mouth to exhale. Is that okay? I usually like bring out my head out enough to exhale.

  • @joyknorris4796

    it is a good excercise , just do it with good kicking ...the more you kick ,more you float on water and will have enough time to breathe...

      Exhale through mouth and nose as your head turns out of the water, then inhale when your head is clear of water then turn back down

    What I never get is I see this swimming videos and these people taking a breath and then they go back in the water with their mouth open in less than a second. How are you breathing that fast without choking on water?

    • @ollieflo1970
      @ollieflo1970 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      With swimmers that are good at freestyle, their stroke creates a little dip in the surface of the water by the face. When they turn to breathe there is a bit more space there. It’s not much but since their breath is very quick, it works. Still working on that myself lol!
