I learned a lot from your video. speaking of breathing, I am unilateral breather (right), I'm struggling to learn the bilateral. Any tips? TIA!
Thanks.for.all the advice CM😀👍 I've a deep cut on my hand which has kept me out of the pool for 2 weeks, ugh! So frustrating!
Yes practice the weaker side in the pool standing. I have this demo here: th-cam.com/video/mMbSXbUf3d0/w-d-xo.html This way you are able to find the correct space to breathe for your weaker side. Definitely a solid goal to be comfortable on both sides. Hope this helps! -Coach Mandy
Ah thats okay. You can practice by studying the technique at home. Hope you heal quickly! -Coach M
always
I like the technical details of your videos. They're easy to understand. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback and welcome to the SWIMVICE channel! 🙏🏊♂️ Be sure to stay connected as I have some exciting news launching this year that will benefit your practice. If you haven't already done so, be sure to join the mailing list at www.swimvice.com/ as I will launch to this group first. Enjoy your practice and keep me posted on your progress! -Coach Mandy
I’ve been binging your channel and I’m so jazzed with my practice/improvements. This video and the lesson on breath control (not breathing out all your air) have completely changed my perception and results to success. Thanks!!
Thanks, i dropped almost 20 secs per 100m following your technique. Now to get it into muscle memory. Effort is also easier doing it correctly
Thank you coach Mandy.
I love watching underwater swimming looking for faults .
You have great balance & front quadrant strokes which gives you the proper timing for the roll breathing . Finding balance is the key.
Hi Tom - yes, you are correct. It really is #1 🙌🏊 -Coach M
Omg Coach Mindy your video on breathing timing was a game changer for me. I followed your instructions today and improved my time on 2000 yards by over 2 minutes! The catch on my low side arm is finally propelling me forward with a higher elbow rather sinking/dropping downward. Also my shoulder wasn’t soar like it is usually!! You rock Coach Mindy. Thank you for sharing your expert instructions. I’m a big fan
Mimi, that is fantastic news! Swimming pain free is a huge accomplishment as it takes practice to stop stabilizing your breath off of your shoulder...nice work! Thank you for sharing your progress and I am happy these videos are useful for your training. 🏊🙌😀🙏 -Coach Mandy
Thanks for your sharing
Very interesting demos thanks. What really stood out for me was that with the breathe-early your arm had created a trough in the water so you didn’t have to lift your head as high. On the breathe-late the trough had been & gone so you had to rotate further to get the mouth clear of the water line.
Yes, you are on point Pete. That is correct! 🙌🏽👍🏽🏊🏼♂️ -Coach Mandy
This is a timely video! After my breath, I lose my technique. My straight arm is sinking, well that entire part of my body starts to sink. I thought maybe I was over-rotating, but from this video, I'm sure I breathe too late.
Awesome keep me posted! 🙌🏽🏊🏼♂️😄 -Coach M
Thank you for the video, it really helps when you demonstrate the wrong way of doing things followed by the correct way!
Michael Gray You’re welcome! 💯👏🏼🏊🏼♂️ -Coach M
Thank you for all your advice! You give very practical tips that really improved my technique. I'm aiming at my first sprint triathlons this summer, so looking forward to more video's!
Awesome Thomas! 🙌🏽🏊🏼♂️👏🏼🔥 -CM
Wonderful video! Very clear and informative. This will fix my biggest problem.
Great Alex! Keep me updated on your practice. 🙌🏽🏊🏼♂️👍🏼 -Coach Mandy
Hi coach Mandy... beautiful information as always. Thanks for sharing
you’re welcome Sandeep! 🏊🏼♂️-CM
Thank you for this video especially, struggle a lot with my breathing, will try yo apply this, many thks!!
You’re welcome Carlos enjoy your practice! 🙌🏽🏊🏼♂️ -Coach Mandy
Spot on with this video on breathing timing. Thx!
curiosity ah awesome! You’re welcome 🙌🏽🏊🏼♂️🙏🏽 -Coach M
This is really good. You are a swimming legend.
No problem Peter! I’m happy this video is useful for your training. Keep me posted on how your practice goes the next time you head to the pool! 🙌🏽🏊🏼♂️ -Coach M
Wonderful tip from you Coach Mandy. I, too, have migrated my freestyle breathing from every five strokes to every three strokes. This has greatly increased my swim endurance and have reduced the drag. Now I don't feel like running out of breath. Thank you so much for your periodical tips. Cheers! Avi.
Avijit Banerjee so happy you locked down a 3 breathing pattern. This is a skill within itself. Nice work! -Coach M 🏊🏼♂️👏🏼👏🏼🔥
Nice job coach, many thanks! 👌
Always! 💯🙌🏽🙏🏽🏊🏼♂️😄 -Coach M
Hi CM, What I found interesting is that I thought my timing was OK. I then played back some video of myself taken about a month ago and guess what? I'm a bit late! Not as much as you've demonstrated here to clearly show the difference, but late. I'm starting to lift my head to breathe as my stroking arm moves into the last third. Between diagonal and finish. Your head is already above the water at this point. Thanks for another great video, as who knows how long it would have taken me (or someone else) to recognise this in my stroke!
Yes, its definitely a very small point this is why I had to exaggerate it in this video otherwise no one would be able to point out what I was talking about. Yes, even a slight delay is all you need to throw off your rhythm. Glad you found it and are working towards correcting it! -Coach M
Thanks
Nice Demo and like how you showed it right and wrong. Good seeing you at the Workshop in Santa Monica, CA
Thank you Phil!
Thanks, I can see now that I have been breathing late.. any tips/drills on how this can be corrected?
great video coach. i am working on my right arm with elastics and similar paraphernalia on dryland, but improving my connection and balance may undoubtly help.
Definitely! 🙌🏽🏊🏼♂️
Great video! I’m still a struggling swimmer so when you point out the difference between early and late breathing, I have to go back and rewatch the video over and over again to find the difference. I know I’m making a mistake in my breathing so this helps. Hopefully I can correct it.
Keep working on it as often as you can. Just practice getting the breath timed early, the rest will follow. -Coach M
Definetly thumbs up. jijijijjijiji I love your improvment code (-CM) in your answers 😀😀😀😀 Have a nice day coach.
ahh you’re welcome Alberto! 🏊🏼♂️🔥🙌🏽😆 -CM 😂
Hi Mandy, your videos are awesome.
When I try to breath in freestyle than my body is sinking, I am not able to take breath and I am stopping and standing at that point.
How can I overcome this problem
Thanks
Yes...Thank you...I am a weak bilateral breather and I've noticed when I breathe on my weak side if I breathe early it's a little easier then if I breathe late so I am most always trying to make sure I breathe early.... I am sure I have more technique to deal with to train a better bilateral stroke....thanks
No problem Lee! I'm glad you are thinking and working on your breathing technique. It's all a process, but continue practicing on your weaker side so you can breathe either way no matter what conditions you are in. Keep me posted! 🏊😀 -Coach Mandy
Yep...I used to breathe very early in the stroke, but I kept my head out of the water for to longo...the effect was the same as breathing late and for me it was a dropped elbow on my low side arm.
Since I corrected this long breath, things improved significantly.
Nice work Tomas! You are correct. The two key points to execute a great breath is get it early and quick. Glad you found the timing. Keep it up! -Coach M 🏊👏
Please let us know what are the exercises should follow before and after swim
I found focussing on the bow wave at your forehead and breathing in the hole behind the bow wave is good practice as this makes you breathe early too. If you breathe late you lose the bow wave and everything breaks down.from there.
👌🏻👌🏻
Timely this...off to the pool to try this... I have been struggling with that late breath, and put off by that trailing arm.
M. O. Great! Keep me posted 👍🏼👏🏼🏊🏼♂️ -Coach M
SWIMVICE It could not have gone any better coach. Better breaths, and we have that low side arm sorted.
Before this video, that was throwing me off balance.
Thank you coach 🙏🏿. You are the best💪🏿
M. O. Yessss now that’s what I’m talking about!! Nice work! 🔥👊🏽🙌🏽👏🏽😆🏊🏼♂️ -CM
SWIMVICE Thank you coach 👊🏿 These videos are gold 🔥 Keep at it 🙏🏿
Very helpful video. I think I leave it late to breathe to my left side because, for some reason, my head isn't close enough to the surface right at the time when I ought to breathe. Breathing to the other side is fine though.
If your breath is late, you are usually lower in the water because the timing is off. So that could be why you are sitting lower in the first place or you are pushing your head down as well. Experiment with the timing and let me know how it goes! -Coach M
Your head is rotating to breathe before forming the catch. Is my observation correct? I rotate my head to breathe as soon as the catch is made. Which one is correct? Please guide.
Can you do one on how to master that brief glide you’re doing every stroke while your arm is out front before the catch.
Yes! I have included a link below to one of my videos targeting this specific point:

🙌🏽🏊🏼♂️ -Coach Mandy
Another great video! Thank you for sharing! Now I found out that I breath to late on my right side. My left side is my "sugar side".
Awesome Martin well keep me posted on how it feels on your right side. 👍🏼🏊🏼♂️🙌🏽 -Coach Mandy
Hey Coach Mandy! It worked! Now I can almost breath equally good on each side.
@@martinjordan1410 Nice work !! You got it! 🙌🏽🏊🏼♂️🔥 -Coach M
Wait - are you suggesting that breathing early is breathing on time? Most pertinent is that you are saying the head should snap back into position before high arm is in water preparing to catch?
David Gerson your head position rotates at the same time as your body rotates. If it’s delayed, an interruption in the stroke cycle will occur. Naturally if you get the breath early you will get it quickly ( will return before your arm sweeps past your face). It’s not “snapping” back that’s not a word I would use as it implies jerking motion with tension. It’s still relaxed it’s just timed exactly on rotation so you avoid any balance issues. 👍🏼🏊🏼♂️👏🏼 -Coach Mandy
SWIMVICE thanks Coach Mandy. Specifically I am referring to your early demo in which your head returns to position BEFORE your high arm re-enters the water. Is that an intentional and preferable difference to returning your head at the same time as high arm reenters?
Hi Coach Mandy! I rotate easier onto right side to breathe than left side. Neck range of motion is also better turning right than left. So breathing while on left side is always somewhat awkward & rush. Would you please suggest something to improve?
Hi Nora, yes I would say if you can become more comfortable on your back so you are able to rotate to this extent on your weaker side. This will help you relax further which is needed for a less awkward breath. Hope this helps! 🙌🏽😄 -Coach M
So what drill will help?
Another question...My left arm doesn’t lift & carry over naturally either. It bends & hover over the water. What can be the causes? How to identify them?
Hi mam I ve just watch this video my daughters are swimmers recently i identified they slowdown after 25 meter I assume they have this breathing issue hope this video going to help me to correct them looking forward for more tips thank you
You're welcome Lavanya! I hope they are doing well. The main thing for them start implementing now is keep their head low without lifting their head. Hope this helps! -Coach Mandy
@@SWIMVICE ok madem I'll tell them to correct their head position and see the improvement😊
Hi Mandy, forgot to mention, yes I'm working on my breathing technique. I've realised there are times when I'm still holding my breath and sometimes not getting a clean breath. Maybe my late timing i(see below!) is not helping with taking in water with a breath? I'm doing some warm up drills and focusing on trying to take small breaths and making sure I'm breathing out slowly as soon as my face is under water.
Hi Endo, yes you are correct. Sometimes a late breath can trigger a disruption in your breathing pattern causing you to take a shallow breath or no air at all. I would say to prioritize getting the timing right and the form first. Once you feel more comfortable, start working in the correct breathing pattern when you are more relaxed. It can become really complex to think of it all at once. Eventually, all the steps will come together and you will realize how everything is so connected once you let the process take its course. Keep moving you are getting closer and closer every time you go to the pool. 🏊😀 -Coach Mandy
Thank you for this, I have been feeling a drag when I take a breath and I suspect from watching this, I’m breathing late. Question: I’m guessing you’re only breathing to one side to demonstrate the breathing technique in the video but I’ve noticed so many good swimmers at my pool breathing at every stroke from one side only. Shouldn’t we be alternating sides during laps or is there some secret I’m not aware of?
Hi Kathryn great question. I was just demonstrating the form of the breath. I have an older video on breathing patterns but will touch on this again. Yes the common breathing patterns are: every 2, every 3, and 2,2,4. I would always suggest gravitating towards three to start because it helps with keeping an even stroke as well as forces you to become comfortable on both sides.
Every two is great as well. However, it’s best to switch up the sides here and there and also maintain your form as it is easier to break down if you are not used to maintaining proper breathing form. Hope this helps! 🙌🏽🏊🏻♀️ -Coach Mandy
SWIMVICE Good, I’ve been breathing every third stroke alternating sides. I tried out your breathing tip at the pool and indeed, I was breathing late, so this has helped speed up my swim as I was pausing on that stroke for too long. Now, just got to figure out how to get used to water in my mouth as I take a low breath, guessing that’s just the way it is.
@@NorCalMom when you reach forward and roll onto your side a little it'll help to catch your breathe in the trough that naturally appears. Here the water will be a little lower than the rest. Also imagine a line going across your face, one google will be below this line in the water and one google will be out. As you catch a breathe move your mouth to one side so that only the side that's out is open. This and catching the breathe in the trough will mean you shouldn't get any water in your mouth. Other things to try would be to look back slightly and not directly sidewards, still keeping your head aligned with your spine and not coming up out the water, imagine it's on a stick and you can only rotate your neck but otherwise it stays still. As you rotate to the side look a little diagonal and backwards. Good luck!
Great advice! Yes, noticing I am starting to look back more as I breath than I was before and found the trough. Makes so much sense now!
@@NorCalMom yes! I'm pleased! 😁
Hi Coach Mandy,
So I see myself breathing too early and also too late. Do you have a video showing exactly when you're supposed to breathe? I'm particularly confused about your comment concerning seeing your arm enter the water while taking a breath. Thanks, Marty
Hi Martin, breathing early is correct as shown starting at 2:44. Your head position rotates with your body when you roll for a breath. When the timing has no delay, you will have plenty of room to breathe and it won’t throw off your rhythm. 👍🏼 Hope this helps! -Coach M
@@SWIMVICE Thanks so much. I'll try it out tomorrow morning.
So when to breathe in freestyle?
Hello,Coach Mandy
I tend to lose my core engagement when I turn to breath, I noticed after you breathe in this video, you always tuck your head down are you reengaging your core muscle?
Hi Ray B I’m just getting the breath quickly. If you are losing core engagement, it could be your timing is off or you may be lifting your head. Try this point out at the pool and let me know how it goes! -Coach M 👍🏼🏊🏼♂️
👍❤️💋 hello mandy
Hi Mandy, did you know that pool water quality also has a significant impact on breathing performance?
Pools with relatively high chlorine levels, typically have dangerously high Trichloramine gases being exposed, just above the waterline (these gases sit there, since they are four times heavier than air).
Exposure to high levels of trichloramines has been proven to contribute to the contraction of Ashtma in elite swimmers and in swimmers with low or developing immune systems. Particularly the parents of pre-schoolers (
Yes thank you for all the info! It is extremely important!👍🏊🙌 -Coach M
Like iv said about a few swim tutorial videos on here, a lot of videos contradict each other
Silverash the option is for you and what feels best. Try it out and let me know how you goes! Enjoy your practice. 😄 🙌🏽🏊🏼♂️ -Coach Mandy
I recognize you don't really kick too much in that stroke. Is it a bad idea to kick a lot? Subconsciously as I anticipate taking that breath i kick a lot trying to keep my legs up then everything goes bad.
Hi Walter, that’s a great question. If you are using your kick to stabilize your body (I.e a breath), your effort increases significantly which is why it is not a good idea. The kick is used for rotation and some propulsion. The only times you would see a swimmer kick at a higher tempo is for sprints. However, when you are learning how to be more efficient, relaxing your legs is a high priority.
If you are kicking to help support your breath, the issue is your body alignment not your kick. Kicking too much will make you sink further and will make you work harder.
I have a few videos linked below to explain this further:
✅ th-cam.com/video/xXQYarayAcw/w-d-xo.html
✅ th-cam.com/video/LFgKgXOi_WA/w-d-xo.html
✅ th-cam.com/video/qPQcHBHVYWo/w-d-xo.html
Hope this helps. Thank you for watching, enjoy your practice, and keep me posted! 👍🙌 -Coach Mandy
@@SWIMVICE 🙌🏽 thank you!
K, I think I'm closer to pinpointing why I'm nearly a beached whale after doing a single lap 😂 The way I noticed myself taking a breath was my head returning to the water at the same rate as my arm, which honestly looks similar to the "late breath" here. And of course I'm way out of breath by the time I reach the wall. I'll try being more cognizant of my head timing now 😊
😂 your comment made my day. I am sure it's not as bad as you think, but keep me posted when you feel an earlier breath. Enjoy your practice! -Coach Mandy
This video is just what I was looking for. I literally had the lifeguard take a vid of me swimming freestyle the other day and one of the key things I was doing wrong was breathing too late. It was causing a huge imbalance in the rest of my stroke.
I am now trying to concentrate on getting that breath as soon as my low arm begins to pull water back. I have noticed the difference already as I am able to get more air in my lungs and am able to swim more comfortably. It is a hard habit to break however as I find myself reverting back to breathing late on certain strokes. Do you have any other mental queues that are good for reminding yourself when to start turning your head for that breath?
Thanks again for all your awesome content 🙏
Hi Mark! Yes, time the breath exactly when the high side arm lands in or enters the water NOT the pulling arm. Usually the delay can be triggered by this. For example, if you breathe over your left shoulder, time the breath when the right arm is landing in the water. Keep me posted! 👍🏼🏊🏼♂️🙌🏽 -Coach Mandy
SWIMVICE thank you 🙏 Will do 😎
@@SWIMVICE plus when you reach forward and roll onto your side a little it'll help catch that breathe in the trough 👍
Very beautiful, can you put translate arabic in videos
Hi
Very helpful channel
Currently am unable to swim due to pool closures due to virus
