"Breathe a little bit behind you." That was the solution to my breathing woes. Trust me this little detail brings your breathing-arm coordination together. You can go faster, it's easier, more efficient, you don't tire so easily, you get more time to breathe and the whole process becomes smoother! I discovered it by mistake this past weekend and boy did I start gliding!

Thank you! Beginner here only swimming for 5 months and I did this today I swam alot more without getting as tired as I have I can hold my breath but not too much so thanks once again you teach very well and I'm soo happy I swam as much as I did . "Breathe behind you" was playing in my head.

It's fantastic that you've only been swimming for 5 months and you're already making progress. Keep up the great work!

Thought I'd give you an update: I commented maybe 10 months ago about breathing tips. I am soon approaching the 1 yr mark of lessons in August...I can swim...and rotate...and breathe...and float...and bob...and tread (mostly-this one still gets me)...now I'm tweaking for consistency and efficiency. Thanks for your videos/tips...it's been super helpful for an overthinker like me. 👍

Breathing technique is perfectly explained here than any other video on TH-cam. You just made it easier. I am defintely going to try these tips tomorrow.
@@RocketSwimming Today I tried to drop my forehead so that my chin comes up. I also tried to rotate my body so that it makes me easier to open my chest and shoulder in order to breathe smoothly. I feel myself more streamlined in the water than earlier.
This is the best “how to” breathing video I have seen so far. This guy is more practical for a beginner like me. Also has realistic expectations for a beginner. It also helps that he looks like me and not an Olympic swimmer.
I'm a beginner swimmer and have invested $$ in about 2 classes each at level 1 and then intermediate. Needless to say I'm back at level 1 because they never taught me this. The video breaks down what I'm challenged with at age 63, breathing and kicking at the same time. I'm overthrowing it, but will try to incorporate what you said here.

Yes, it's gamechanger for a majority of swimmers. Most swimmers tend to breathe on the side and beginners breathe in front of them which is totally wrong. Breathing behind you is the most efficient way when swimming freestyle.
As a beginner swimmer at 47, This is super cool and helpful. My breathing technique sucks right now. But I'll get better with time, practice and proper guidance. Swimming is awesome! Full body workout! Thanks so much bro.
That's fantastic to hear! I'm glad you're finding the video helpful.

Yes!!!! Yes, yes, yes! I go back to my class on Monday and I'm gonna try breathing behind me! Thinking back at how much water I drank, every time I turned my head I was drinking 'bow water'. My instructor says my form is really good, my legs are good, everything is good but I always drink water and it makes me stop. This little difference is all I need to finally go the whole length of the pool. As of now, I can make it about halfway, it's just that breath that messes me up.
Awesome! I'm so happy that you are confident in the technique you learned in this video. Please try this on Monday and let me know how it goes! I am confident that you'll perfectly breathe using this technique. 😊 - Niraj (CDO)
Update:I didn't drink any water, it went very well. Now I just have to work on not trying to swim so hard. My instructor says that I'm too tense so I end up using too much energy and then I get tired way too fast. But my breath has made a drastic improvement, it's crazy how something so simple can make such a huge difference.
Amazing! I'm so proud of your progress. As you are now improving with your breathing, you will surely get calm after some sessions. Breathing is the most important part. Keep me updated on your progress. - Niraj (CDO)

THANKYOU SO MUCH! I have struggled for ages to get my breathing right and the tips given in your video have unlocked my breathing technique difficulties. In particular the 2 stroke tempo and also face position tips real game changers.
I’m so excited that I’ve found this channel. Your decision to commit such a large portion of your energy to teaching people how to swim is so inspiring in more ways than you think… LIFE CHANGING MAN!!! thanks for what you do and have done!!! I so bad want to be the guy who can get in a pool and swim 10-20 laps but the fact is, after 1 trip down the pool I need to hold on the edge and gather myself, by the time I make it back to where I started, I’m so physically exhausted I pretty much need to climb out of the pool and lay on the side to catch my breath. Im not sure why swimming is so hard for me as I played multiple sports pretty high up my entire youth and I’m in pretty decent shape as a 40 yr old guy. But swimming requires a HUGE amount of coordination and I just can’t seem to put it all together. Im planning to retire from my corporate job in the next 12 mos and one of my lifelong goals is to become a proficient swimmer and dedicate however much focused energy needed to accomplish this goal. I have 3 young boys and I have a strong desire for them to grow up being able to swim. Let’s be honest (if someone fell in the water beside me and was drowning…. I’d have to run and find somebody who can save them, and if it was one of my kids….. that can’t happen - all because “I can’t swim”. Your videos teach in detail all the things I’m really bad at and do incorrectly. I’m confident that I can learn and become proficient - through your videos and lessons. Thanks man!!! LIFE CHANGING for sure
I want to sincerely thank you for your wonderful comment. Your words mean a lot to me, and I'm truly glad that my videos are inspiring and helpful to you. Your determination to learn swimming and the importance you place on passing on this skill to your kids is truly admirable. Regarding the exhaustion you're facing during swimming, it's not uncommon, especially when starting out. Swimming engages various muscles and requires a different type of endurance than many other sports. Remember, it's okay to start with shorter distances and gradually build up. Focus on your breathing technique and take breaks as needed. Also, try to maintain a relaxed and efficient stroke technique. With consistent practice and gradually increasing the distance, your endurance will improve. It's never too late to learn, and I have no doubt that with your dedication and effort, you'll become a proficient swimmer. Keep watching, practicing, and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions along the way. You've got this! 🏊♂️💪
Thank you so much! Are you progressing? If you need any help you can always comment or contact us on jonny@rocketswimming.com for tips and feedback. Keep me posted on your progress, ok? 😊 - Niraj (CDO)
You are the best!!!!! Thank you so much. Imma try it tomorrow 🙏🏼 I tried your technique this morning and thank God for you.. All this time I thought I needed to keep my head under water until I was out of air.. I ended up always gasping for air , lifting my total head out of the water, only to miss air all together. And I know now that my legs were dropping. Also you’ve got me thinking to keep more air “ in” to stay aligned! That back side breath and keeping my head back down is great!!!!! Somehow when you explain it, I can “ do” it..Now I feel more comfortable and can stick with my freestyle.. You are Great!!! I am a subscriber now and look forward to reviewing all of your videos.. You are the Best, and I’ve listened to them all… trust me!

I'll definitely be trying the 2 strokes instead of 3 plus looking behind me instead of to the side and see if I can make it to the deep end. I'm always able to make it to the deep end when doing the back stroke but doing the free style i might make it to where the life guards sit on their throne by the poolside so I'm hoping the 2 strokes and looking behind me will up my game🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️❤❤❤🇬🇧🇯🇲
Thanks, for the clear instructions. I'm a beginner swimmer for almost two months. I tried it today trying to follow your instructions as best I could. It seems to be a timing issue which I think with practice I will be able to get it. My problem is when I breathe it seems to be mostly shallow breaths. Hopefully with more practice I will be able to get deeper breaths.
@@RocketSwimming Update: I finally seem to have the breathing down. I started breathing a little behind me and it made it a big difference. It kept my head lower and it helped keep my legs from sinking. Solved my sinking legs problem and made it much easier getting across the pool. Thanks for the tip .It was definitely a game changer.
Thanks for this man. Taking swimming lessons for the first time at age 35. I hold my breath while so called “swimming” as I think I’m gonna drown without full lungs. I end up choking on water when I need a breath. Gonna try this technique next lesson.
Thank you so much! I'm really glad to hear that my explanations are helpful to you. If you have any more questions or need further guidance, feel free to ask. Keep up the great work with your swimming journey! 👍🏊♂️

Very well explained...excellent 👏 especially the last part was so true that we do not breathe for many strokes and then feel desperate for inhale n don't even inhale well . So great explanation thanks a lot this video was very helpful
Yes, exactly! Holding breathe is worse than anything. Many beginner make the same mistake and that makes swimming harder. Don't forget to check out our latest video. th-cam.com/video/Y1o-BTuIVaU/w-d-xo.html (How To Swim For Beginners - Four Drills to Perfect Your Swimming) - Niraj (CDO)
@@RocketSwimmingthank u for replying . I have difficulty in breathing in when face is out for breath n feel inhalation is very short compared to exhalation that makes it difficult even take 2 more pulls how can I improve

I'm delighted to hear that you've found the channel helpful! Breathing can indeed be a challenge in swimming. Breathing Drill: 1: Begin with a kickboard or pull buoy for buoyancy. 2: Swim with your face in the water, focusing on your kicking and arm strokes. 3: When you're ready to breathe, rotate your head to the side (not lifting it out of the water) and take a quick breath. 4: Exhale gently underwater while keeping your face submerged. Alternate sides for breathing. You should also watch this video to learn swimming th-cam.com/video/Rqb3bnna21k/w-d-xo.html
So nice of you! I am glad that you are making positive progress. Keep me posted. Also, thanks for compliment in Hindi. I really appreciate it and it means a lot to me.
I appreciate your feedback on the explanation, and I'm glad you found it helpful! That's great to hear that you're planning to put the techniques into practice tomorrow morning. Enjoy your swim session, and remember to take it one step at a time. Have a wonderful time in the water! 🏊♂️😄

Thanks for the breathing behind tip that's what I needed. Disagree on the holding breath stuff though. If you do it right you dont really hold your breath you just slowly exhale for a longer time and breath in a big breath to last you longer. Also pro's hold their breath for the last few meters not to waste time breathing because they can breathe when they stop.
This guys is explaining exactly what my issues are, it's like he was there during my swimming lessons lol damn! where have you been man!? I'm gonna try this next time. subscribing to your channel
Great lesson as always. Since I started the front crawl with your tutorial, I've always been focused on "chin up, forehead down" and it's a great tip. My problem is about the amount of air that I should inhale and exhale. Should I empty my lungs before inhaling? I go out of air when I do six kicks per stroke cycle even when I breathe every two strokes. I asked this below another video today and I'm not even giving you a chance to respond 😅 sorry about that.
No worries at all! It's great to see you're actively engaged and seeking answers to improve your swimming technique. Regarding your question, it's generally recommended to exhale gently through your nose or mouth while your face is submerged in the water, and then inhale quickly when you turn your head to breathe. Spit the water (blow) from your lips and breathe behind you. Your breathe starts as soon as your pull starts. You should keep some air in your lungs if possible. Keep up the great work and happy swimming!
@@RocketSwimming these are great tips. I'll do my best to memorize everything you said and apply them in the water. The tricky part is focusing on one thing without ruining everything else. when you said you're breathing starts when your pull starts, are you referring to what you mentioned in the front crawl video? To start turning my head with the pull and breathe in the recovery? Or do you mean that I should inhale when the other hand starts its pulling action?

Thanks! I appreciate your kind words and support. I strive to make learning enjoyable while providing accurate and helpful tips. Happy swimming! 🏊♂️😊
Yes!!!! Yes, yes, yes! I go back to my class on Monday and I'm gonna try breathing behind me! Thinking back at how much water I drank, every time I turned my head I was drinking 'bow water'. My instructor says my form is really good, my legs are good, everything is good but I always drink water and it makes me stop. This little difference is all I need to finally go the whole length of the pool. As of now, I can make it about halfway, it's just that breath that messes me up.
Awesome! I'm so happy that you are confident in the technique you learned in this video. Please try this on Monday and let me know how it goes! I am confident that you'll perfectly breathe using this technique. 😊

Update:I didn't drink any water, it went very well. Now I just have to work on not trying to swim so hard. My instructor says that I'm too tense so I end up using too much energy and then I get tired way too fast. But my breath has made a drastic improvement, it's crazy how something so simple can make such a huge difference.
Amazing! I'm so proud of your progress. As you are now improving with your breathing, you will surely get calm after some sessions. Breathing is the most important part. Keep me updated on your progress.

This is a really great Video. Well done Rocket swimmers. Well done indeed.

During my practice last week I accidentally did what he is demonstrating like breath every two stroke little bit behind you and I managed to reach the deep end wall without stopping midway.Great advice thank you.
Thanks awesome!! Practice more and keep me posted on your progress.
Great video and I am extremely confident this is why I get tired so fast as I hold my breath for too long. Thanks so much

THANKYOU SO MUCH! I have struggled for ages to get my breathing right and the tips given in your video have unlocked my breathing technique difficulties. In particular the 2 stroke tempo and also face position tips real game changers.
You're so welcome! I'm glad you found this video helpful.

I’m so excited that I’ve found this channel. Your decision to commit such a large portion of your energy to teaching people how to swim is so inspiring in more ways than you think… LIFE CHANGING MAN!!! thanks for what you do and have done!!!
I so bad want to be the guy who can get in a pool and swim 10-20 laps but the fact is, after 1 trip down the pool I need to hold on the edge and gather myself, by the time I make it back to where I started, I’m so physically exhausted I pretty much need to climb out of the pool and lay on the side to catch my breath. Im not sure why swimming is so hard for me as I played multiple sports pretty high up my entire youth and I’m in pretty decent shape as a 40 yr old guy. But swimming requires a HUGE amount of coordination and I just can’t seem to put it all together. Im planning to retire from my corporate job in the next 12 mos and one of my lifelong goals is to become a proficient swimmer and dedicate however much focused energy needed to accomplish this goal. I have 3 young boys and I have a strong desire for them to grow up being able to swim. Let’s be honest (if someone fell in the water beside me and was drowning…. I’d have to run and find somebody who can save them, and if it was one of my kids….. that can’t happen - all because “I can’t swim”. Your videos teach in detail all the things I’m really bad at and do incorrectly. I’m confident that I can learn and become proficient - through your videos and lessons. Thanks man!!! LIFE CHANGING for sure
I want to sincerely thank you for your wonderful comment. Your words mean a lot to me, and I'm truly glad that my videos are inspiring and helpful to you. Your determination to learn swimming and the importance you place on passing on this skill to your kids is truly admirable.
Regarding the exhaustion you're facing during swimming, it's not uncommon, especially when starting out. Swimming engages various muscles and requires a different type of endurance than many other sports. Remember, it's okay to start with shorter distances and gradually build up. Focus on your breathing technique and take breaks as needed. Also, try to maintain a relaxed and efficient stroke technique. With consistent practice and gradually increasing the distance, your endurance will improve.
It's never too late to learn, and I have no doubt that with your dedication and effort, you'll become a proficient swimmer. Keep watching, practicing, and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions along the way. You've got this! 🏊♂️💪
Very good instructor! As I progress I comeback to this video to double check I am doing well

You are the best!!!!! Thank you so much. Imma try it tomorrow 🙏🏼
I tried your technique this morning and thank God for you.. All this time I thought I needed to keep my head under water until I was out of air.. I ended up always gasping for air , lifting my total head out of the water, only to miss air all together. And I know now that my legs were dropping. Also you’ve got me thinking to keep more air “ in” to stay aligned! That back side breath and keeping my head back down is great!!!!! Somehow when you explain it, I can “ do” it..Now I feel more comfortable and can stick with my freestyle.. You are Great!!! I am a subscriber now and look forward to reviewing all of your videos.. You are the Best, and I’ve listened to them all… trust me!

I'll definitely be trying the 2 strokes instead of 3 plus looking behind me instead of to the side and see if I can make it to the deep end. I'm always able to make it to the deep end when doing the back stroke but doing the free style i might make it to where the life guards sit on their throne by the poolside so I'm hoping the 2 strokes and looking behind me will up my game🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️❤❤❤🇬🇧🇯🇲
Please tell me in hindi
So true
Thanks, for the clear instructions. I'm a beginner swimmer for almost two months. I tried it today trying to follow your instructions as best I could. It seems to be a timing issue which I think with practice I will be able to get it. My problem is when I breathe it seems to be mostly shallow breaths. Hopefully with more practice I will be able to get deeper breaths.
You can do it! I am glad that you're making progress. Keep practicing and keep me posted on your progress.
@@RocketSwimming Update: I finally seem to have the breathing down. I started breathing a little behind me and it made it a big difference. It kept my head lower and it helped keep my legs from sinking. Solved my sinking legs problem and made it much easier getting across the pool. Thanks for the tip .It was definitely a game changer.
Explained well
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your positive feedback. Happy Swimming 😊🏊

Thanks for this man. Taking swimming lessons for the first time at age 35. I hold my breath while so called “swimming” as I think I’m gonna drown without full lungs. I end up choking on water when I need a breath. Gonna try this technique next lesson.
You got this! Let me know how it goes for you and keep me posted on your progress.

Very well explained...excellent 👏 especially the last part was so true that we do not breathe for many strokes and then feel desperate for inhale n don't even inhale well . So great explanation thanks a lot this video was very helpful
Yes, exactly! Holding breathe is worse than anything. Many beginner make the same mistake and that makes swimming harder. Don't forget to check out our latest video. th-cam.com/video/Y1o-BTuIVaU/w-d-xo.html (How To Swim For Beginners - Four Drills to Perfect Your Swimming)

@@RocketSwimmingthank u for replying . I have difficulty in breathing in when face is out for breath n feel inhalation is very short compared to exhalation that makes it difficult even take 2 more pulls how can I improve
Great video. Best training. I feel more confident now.

So glad I found this channel. Learnt so much. Breathing for me is by far one of the hardest things. Is there any drills you recommend?
I'm delighted to hear that you've found the channel helpful! Breathing can indeed be a challenge in swimming.
Breathing Drill:
1: Begin with a kickboard or pull buoy for buoyancy.
2: Swim with your face in the water, focusing on your kicking and arm strokes.
3: When you're ready to breathe, rotate your head to the side (not lifting it out of the water) and take a quick breath.
4: Exhale gently underwater while keeping your face submerged.
Alternate sides for breathing.

Thanks for the breathing behind tip that's what I needed. Disagree on the holding breath stuff though. If you do it right you dont really hold your breath you just slowly exhale for a longer time and breath in a big breath to last you longer. Also pro's hold their breath for the last few meters not to waste time breathing because they can breathe when they stop.
You're welcome! I really appreciate your positive feedback.

Great lesson as always. Since I started the front crawl with your tutorial, I've always been focused on "chin up, forehead down" and it's a great tip. My problem is about the amount of air that I should inhale and exhale. Should I empty my lungs before inhaling? I go out of air when I do six kicks per stroke cycle even when I breathe every two strokes. I asked this below another video today and I'm not even giving you a chance to respond 😅 sorry about that.
No worries at all! It's great to see you're actively engaged and seeking answers to improve your swimming technique. Regarding your question, it's generally recommended to exhale gently through your nose or mouth while your face is submerged in the water, and then inhale quickly when you turn your head to breathe. Spit the water (blow) from your lips and breathe behind you. Your breathe starts as soon as your pull starts. You should keep some air in your lungs if possible. Keep up the great work and happy swimming!
@@RocketSwimming these are great tips. I'll do my best to memorize everything you said and apply them in the water. The tricky part is focusing on one thing without ruining everything else. when you said you're breathing starts when your pull starts, are you referring to what you mentioned in the front crawl video? To start turning my head with the pull and breathe in the recovery? Or do you mean that I should inhale when the other hand starts its pulling action?
Thank you, Teacher❤
