I've always heard about the trough, but having it demonstrated clearly with Bob was enough to convince the anxious part of my brain to keep my head down when breathing. And I have now seen dramatic results already. Keep it up with the videos.
Hi Chloe, I've been struggling with freestyle breathing, I've watched so many videos on this topic I lost count, but this video of yours really stands out. Though I heard lots and lots of people talking about breathing with the bow wave, it was not until I saw your genius demonstration with Bob that I finally believe that my mouth is actually safe from the water as long as I keep my head level when turning to the side to breathe. Thank you so much
It's not enough to have a beautiful swimming technique. You have to know how to teach it... And you ace BOTH 😁. Congratulations on the best swimming videos I've seen so far on TH-cam
hi im a dentist. i have been trying hard to master freestyle since 6 months but couldn't. but now after started watching your videos my swimming has improved a lot. thank you very much
Thanks Chloe, these vids are super useful. I’m just starting to really focus on technique - maybe 40 years too late! - and these vids help heaps. Cheers.
Thanks for the great video, especially on moving your mouth to one side breath. It really made it more comfortable on the right side but I don’t have the same facial muscle to do the same on left side. Any tips how can I work this?
aww boy! about 6 hours of pool swimming trying to figure this one out.... just to find out that i was on the right track at the very beginning :D just needed some practice.... btw...i guess this is one of those things that cannot be done slowly? - to make a wave i need speed, if i do it very slowly i will not make this recess in water deep enough: so i will have to turn my head too much?
No, a continuous exhalation is highly recommended, emptying lungs underwater. What you are suggesting is tantamount to "holding your breath", and this is a big no-no.
As you are swimming freestyle, you will want to constantly exhale through your nose while your face is submerged underwater. Try to keep your exhaling at a certain rhythm so it feels natural, not like you're rushing to forcefully push air out of your nose.
Thanks for the tips, Chloe! What are your thoughts on the bilateral breathing? Are you using it? I am trying to learn it, but find it a bit uncomfortable to breath on the other side.
hi Chloe sutton... i like your videos short n simple... i am feeling very difficult to keep the co-ordination between leg kicks and breath..somehow i stop kicking when trying to take breath... :( will keep trying
Great video Chloe, I'm glad I found your channel! Would you recommend to exhale through the nose when the face is in the water? Mainly I'm a runner so having a certain fitness level but in the water I've found myself running out of air pretty quickly, what's your thought on that?
Everybody does this a little differently at the elite level... we usually teach novice swimmers to hum out of their nose while their face is in the water. I know that I exhale slow and controlled out of both my nose and my mouth. Experiment and find what works best for you
But when I try doing freestyle, and do what you taught me with the one eye out and one eye in with part of my mouth underwater, I have this feeling on choking on water and running out of breath and that stops my momentum. How do I take a quick deep breath in this scenario without choking on water and not feeling out of breath?
Darius Villa i have same question... i think u must keep on trying and stick to proper technique . i am gonna try aga8n once winters r over in my area.
First, make sure you are breathing at the correct time. Watch my "Breathing in Freestyle" video and practice some of the drills. Also, you might just need to get over the psychological challenge of breathing relaxed with part of your face in the water. It can be hard to get your body to relaxed if you're not used to it. Keep working on it and you will figure it out! Good luck!
Fabolous Four I've been practicing in an Olympic sized outdoor pool in November, December, January, and February. So I've been able to be comfortable swimming in the outdoor pool during winter months, because I live in South Florida. So I'm getting better in the freestyle breathing stuff by now.
Not sure my (lack of) swim speed creates enough wave for this:) But I really appreciate your videos Chris! I've gotten faster and breathe better because of them!
First, thanks for _fantastic_ tutorials. I have learned so much about swimming and I personally rank your channel as my top choice. In particular I like the detail and the way you show drills and common faults, plus the relaxed and natural style of your presentations. I have one wish though; I am not a native English speaker and the echo/ambience in your voice records makes it hard to hear what you say. I turn up the volume but then the music is way too loud. Any transcriptions, sound filters or mic placements to improve that would be great. Thanks again!
can anyone suggest me a good goggle to buy ? I tried many and found water inside my goggle , often I m getting my eye injured from the chlorinated water . ,😢
look at how Olympians wear them! they press them with both hands into their pockets ; eye sockets. and then also pull the straps. just about after comfort level. u will usually feel a very light headache. if u r not me. my migraine is extremely sensitive :) do I make sense? or am i bad at talking?
First of all every TH-camrs forget mension about legs. To create wave you have to work hard with your legs to reach appriopriate speed! :) Second issue is that is unusally chalange do it in overcrouded sweemingpool ;)
I dont think that you have too use that much leg to create enough momentum, otherwise the triathlete woudln't be able to breathe anymore. Me personally think it helps, when I pull a little bit harder right before the breathe
I asked other day a friend of mine to swim freestyle without kicking and she was surprised it was possible this said the most propulsion you get in freestyle is out of pull but kicks guve you extra speed which you can especially see practicing with a snorkel and fins without any pull just kucking!
I do use a high quality microphone, but the sound of the pool is impossible to get rid of. Pools are so loud. If you listen, I do quite a bit of voice over. Thanks for the feedback. I really don't think I can get the sound any better.
I'm trying! I have a microphone, but no matter what I do, the pool sound is just too loud. This is with filter and everything. Any other advice? I welcome any tips to drown out the sound of the water and the echo.
It’sin a swim area, natural acoustics are going to be like that without hi tec sound filtering systems. Funnily enough it would be the same if you paid for lessons at your local pool, and hey, these great lessons are free. Live with it….

even Bob breaths better than me!
He's really good at it. haha
Chloe Sutton
Mannequins give me the creeps except bob he's cool.
hi im a dentist. i have been trying hard to master freestyle since 6 months but couldn't. but now after started watching your videos my swimming has improved a lot. thank you very much
As ever, the clearest demonstration. Thank you, Chloe!
Thanks Chloe, these vids are super useful. I’m just starting to really focus on technique - maybe 40 years too late! - and these vids help heaps. Cheers.
This series is amazing. These videos are so helpful. Thank you!
Such a small thing...can't wait to give it a try! Thanks Chloe!!!
Subscribed! This channel will make me swim so, so fast...
Thank you! Hooray!
What should be the head position in the water? What if the head feels too deep under water, and turning head 90* is not enough to reach the air?
Very helpful and funny as well. You're the master in teaching!
this was a very effective tutorial and demonstration :) thank you for all your tutorials and lessons. you are a great instructor :)
Thanks for the great video, especially on moving your mouth to one side breath. It really made it more comfortable on the right side but I don’t have the same facial muscle to do the same on left side. Any tips how can I work this?
You are more than wonderful all your videos are simple and easy to impress and share on Facebook
you are making the best videos on swimming
really helpful
thank you
Thank you!
your lessons are the best on you tube!!!
Thank you for share the last tip. Turn the mouth instead of the head. Brilliant!
I think It's also really helpful to practise muscle on face :)
aww boy! about 6 hours of pool swimming trying to figure this one out.... just to find out that i was on the right track at the very beginning :D just needed some practice.... btw...i guess this is one of those things that cannot be done slowly? - to make a wave i need speed, if i do it very slowly i will not make this recess in water deep enough: so i will have to turn my head too much?
Great video, in my view, this is the hardest aspect of good freestyle to master.
Hello. What about exhaling? Is it better a constant exhalation while the head underwater, or an explosive exhalation just before the next inhalation?
I really want to know about that too!
No, a continuous exhalation is highly recommended, emptying lungs underwater. What you are suggesting is tantamount to "holding your breath", and this is a big no-no.
As you are swimming freestyle, you will want to constantly exhale through your nose while your face is submerged underwater. Try to keep your exhaling at a certain rhythm so it feels natural, not like you're rushing to forcefully push air out of your nose.
i want to add that rotation helps a lot here, and as in all strokes the less the head is move the better.
Great tips I didn’t know about moving the mouth slightly away from the water. Thanks
Another great video . Thank you Chloe.
Thank you!
I have started learning so your tips and videos are great thank you much
Keep up the great work!
What if I don't swim fast enough for that curvy wave and air pocket to be created?
This is a very useful tip. Thanks alot~
Thanks for the tips, Chloe! What are your thoughts on the bilateral breathing? Are you using it? I am trying to learn it, but find it a bit uncomfortable to breath on the other side.
Put up more clips for swimming. So interesting. Thanks Chloe.
I'm working on it!
Chloe Sutton thanks, do at your own pace.
Thanks :)
hi Chloe sutton... i like your videos short n simple... i am feeling very difficult to keep the co-ordination between leg kicks and breath..somehow i stop kicking when trying to take breath... :( will keep trying

Thank you Bob! I finally understand. Of course, copying him may take a while for me to learn. Thanks!
Wow, thank you for this! I should have know about this effect looong time ago
Nice demo of bow wave creation, thanks.
Thank you!
Great! thanks, Chloe!
it is a perfect tip to breath!!! tks a lot.
YAY! Thank you!
Very helpful Chloe thank you.
Wow, I am going to give a try! thanks
If i tilt my head on to the side and out… my ears get filled with water ! Any tips
Great Video 👌👍
Thank you!
Chloe, very creative!!!!!!!!!!

Cool idea to demo breathing like this thanks
This is the hardest thing to get right I've been trying so hard for months, I'm so frustrated.

She has CC - English enabled.
So all I have to do is turn my head with no lifting to get that proper breathing position?
can anyone suggest me a good goggle to buy ? I tried many and found water inside my goggle , often I m getting my eye injured from the chlorinated water . ,😢
look at how Olympians wear them! they press them with both hands into their pockets ; eye sockets. and then also pull the straps. just about after comfort level. u will usually feel a very light headache. if u r not me. my migraine is extremely sensitive :) do I make sense? or am i bad at talking?
I Luke this technique
Ok we all agree on one thing Bob is awesome!Such a role model i wish i coukd be like a Bob one goghle in one goggle out swimming like a pro!🤣🤣
thanks once again for goods advise
I tried a lot but failed to breath and water always went in mouth and nose. I continue to try.
helpful, thanks
Any time! :)
Thank you Ms Sutton
that's very scientific :) I guess with more speed the trough is even better and it would be even easier to breath
nice illustration
Thank you!
Bob has a good technic!
He does!
I´ve been practicing the breathing technique since you post those videos that I find them very useful. Thanks Chloe!!!!!
Awesome ! Thank you!
brilliant
Thank you!
How to not lifting head while doing this?
Really hard to turn off old habits
Practice! Watch my other breathing video for drills to practice

Thank you for advice, it make seans!
I agree with 孙斌 that it's not so much about the legs! However, you are very correct that it is a challenge in an overcrowded swimming pool!
I asked other day a friend of mine to swim freestyle without kicking and she was surprised it was possible this said the most propulsion you get in freestyle is out of pull but kicks guve you extra speed which you can especially see practicing with a snorkel and fins without any pull just kucking!
I m learner...i m trying.....
Good one.
excellent ! awesome !!!! braval !!! 好犀利 !!! 很利害 !!! 強い !!!!
Ever had shoulder pain from freestyle ?
it works! thanks!
Thank you!
I love professional swimmers
I hop one day to be like one
please!! spanish subtitles!!!
i try to Swim
very original!!
thanks so much!
super techniqu
You are my angel 😍
Hey Chloe, using voice over, or some good quality microphone might help to make your guides more popular.
I do use a high quality microphone, but the sound of the pool is impossible to get rid of. Pools are so loud. If you listen, I do quite a bit of voice over. Thanks for the feedback. I really don't think I can get the sound any better.
What kind of relationship does Bob have with you, Chloe?
Oh God, sort the sound out!
I'm trying! I have a microphone, but no matter what I do, the pool sound is just too loud. This is with filter and everything. Any other advice? I welcome any tips to drown out the sound of the water and the echo.
It’sin a swim area, natural acoustics are going to be like that without hi tec sound filtering systems. Funnily enough it would be the same if you paid for lessons at your local pool, and hey, these great lessons are free. Live with it….
It seems that a directional mike will be the only (part) solution to this, you are in a bad environment for recording, period. xx
this breathing technique could take months even years to master
i like bob . he wear ur cap.
Every time I wanna practice this technique, water would get into my nose,
Lot of echo.. difficult to hear
Aham !
Too bad about the sound....
Very difficult to make it perfect all the time, and even 1 miss breath would ruin the whole rhythm

Greetings!
Let's be honest. Even as an Olympian, you are swallowing water.
Well, Chloe, you'd think someone's about to appear in the pool next to you when - bang! there's some unusual Bob!
