How to breathe when swimming freestyle [No more choking on water]

In this video, I will show you and tips on how to breathe when swimming freestyle. Have you always experienced choking on water every time you turned your head to breathe when swimming freestyle or front crawl?
Watch the video and you will see how you can are able to maintain a much better streamlined position when you are turning your head to breathe.

[@gregm55mullen62]

I saw a tip in another video and it seems very important. I tried it and it made so much sense and it’s this. Don’t try and exhale all your breadth in the water as this will exhaust you and you don’t do this in normal situations. Try it.. sit down and breath in normally and then force all your breath out. Do this a few times and you will realise how abnormal it is. It’s the same in the water.

[@Swimtopian]

Good point

Sige po

[@DHFreaki]

Wouldn't that lead to a buildup of too much CO2 in the lungs though?

[@mahendradoshi6709]

It is required to exhale from nose and mouth or only nose

[@giulianacassataro2864]

Breathing properly is my biggest challenge while swimming and has made me almost give up on mastering freestyle swimming. This video was very clear and motivating --as well as funny🤣
Thank you 🥰

[@Swimtopian]

Glad you like it thanks

[@imransheikh74]

Very well said Ricky

[@Flipper86]

Have you tried a pull buoy? It helped me a great deal to coordinate stroke and breathe. They tend to keep your lower half a bit higher in the water, so you might drink the pool a couple of times as you build arm strength and coordination.

[@triciaantoine5711]

🤣🤣🤣 I’m that adult choking on the water. I’m definitely going to practice your technique. Thanks so much !

[@Swimtopian]

Let me know how it goes

[@gaurav3290]

How did it go ?

[@1100241540]

Same here. Will try to practice your technique

[@Checkersss]

Me too LOL

[@ankajgarg8040]

I started swim learning at the age of 36. I learn floating, kicking and arm movement in 3 days. But I am struggling to take breath. I stand up in water after every 15 metre to take breath and then start again. Whenever I open my mouth for breath lot of water enter my mouth and nose. Now hopefully I will master breathing also.
Thanks for making this video.

[@Swimtopian]

Let me know how it goes

[@Ami_2211]

Me too...same problem..

[@tramytran8061]

Same problem here. I can kick, float, but breathe in the water 😔

[@markusmanlius3804]

If you have panic or it is difficult for you to hold your breath for 2 or 3 strokes, it can be helpful for you to pratice a breathing pattern before starting to swim. Then when your head is underwater you just focus on your preset rhythm. It relaxes and assures you that you actually can hold your breath so much longer.
Until winter 2021 I had major panic issues whenever I turned my head underwater and kept choking. This is what helped me the most to overcome my fear. Now I swim 3 times a week and it is really fun.

[@ICxrsedII]

ikr, i did the same and it worked, there were days in which i was annoyed by the times i had to go to swimming classes but now i enjoy them a lot ! i even go by myself in my free time.

[@shriyamukhopadhyay8882]

What breathing pattern to practice plsss say ? Today I got literally out of breath and I choked myself worst situation and my trainers were so cruel they told me "it is all drama" 😔

[@markusmanlius3804]

@@shriyamukhopadhyay8882 of your own choosing, just breathe like your meditating before you get into the water.

[@LionKimbro]

Thanks; I was writing about this problem just the other day! th-cam.com/video/KASE1gI7XLE/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgwWgNVGpYM64H9903N4AaABAg

[@axelfoleyt]

Can you suggest a pattern in strokes or second?

[@LRyan-li9wr]

Beginner here, learning to breathe....This is THE BEST video I have watched so far!!! It is easy to understand, simple, quick to the point, easy to remember!!! Thank you so much!

[@luvncrunch]

I just started swimming laps again, it’s been about 4-5 years! I had the hardest time breathing, no structure, blowing air out through my mouth and the gasping for air when I turned my head to the side…I totally forgot how to breathe correctly! Thank goodness for your video, I’m going swimming tomorrow, now I remember my training as a kid. Whew!

[@Swimtopian]

Glad to hear that

[@deanblair8888]

Joseph, I love your humor! It really helps me to remember what you are teaching. I am a motorcycle and bicycle instructor and that works there as well. My freestyle technique is improving but I'm struggling with breathing in that I feel like I won't get that next breath so I feel a panic. I can snorkel all day with no issues but sustained breathing for multiple laps is not good. I am an avid cyclist so my cardio is good.

[@harijariwala7472]

i almost drowned today in the pool. ofcourse instructors were there to save me. will follow this tips tomorrow. THanks

[@Swimtopian]

Gosh. Please be safe and bring a friend who can swim next time. Take care

[@debbieklose8776]

Omg 😂😂😂 this is so me trying to breath while trying freestyle. Ok I’m watching this one to see what he has to say 😊

[@yvonneblake2]

[@Swimtopian]

[@maricris1940]

[@ChrisJohnsonChannel]

I definitely do all theses mistakes thanks for teaching us the correct technique!

[@steviem6476]

Thanks for the tip. This surely helps when dealing with waves in open water. You are correct on the rotation of the body to help breathe better. Practise and good form helps tremendously.

[@Swimtopian]

Yes thanks for watching the video

[@derfer007]

I have 1:10:00 to swim 1.2 miles next July. Thank you for the tips! 🤟

[@swimnagiyogi]

[@Swimtopian]

Glad that you like it

[@bounty1402]

I like the fact the he explains WHY we should do those movements and not others.

[@lunaleslie5193]

I learned how to swim using a snorkel. And I have been so scared to try without. But your video has given me the desire to try and to overcome the fear!

[@Swimtopian]

Great to know

[@MsChrissal07]

I don't even know why I'm binge watching swimming guides, I learned as a kid and can swim perfectly fine. I guess I'm intrigued what makes swimming so difficult for some people.
But the Peppa Pig tho..I was almost dying of laugher. I was drinking water and had to laugh so much that I ended up gulping water just like in the video. 😂

[@Swimtopian]

Haha....i am glad you enjoy it. Thank you

[@morganwaede1092]

@Chrissy Bun Oh man….the fear of drowning is so real. It took me a few tries to trust that I would float! And now I’m trying to master breathing.

[@Swimtopian]

Today me and my coach found out that I’m a natural freestyle swimmer! 🤗 I was struggling learning frog style supposedly the easiest one, so my coach let me try freestyle, and I did it just in one try! 😁🥳 My coach was literally shocked! Now we just need to perfect the technique 😊 Me and my coach believe we are all natural swimmer, at least in one style, so keep trying! 👏

[@iristyler3362]

Thank you I can’t swim n everytime I get into the pool I’d hold on to the concrete of the pool the whole time I’m just afraid of letting go and not be able to float and drown 😭😭 but that’s why people tell me “ you gotta learn to float to know how to swim “ now I know how to hold my breathe above water but I’ll practice these before I let go 🤣❤️

[@Swimtopian]

Yes, one step at a time. Good luck

[@victoriaburgess700]
