Freestyle breathing technique slow motion

Freestyle breathing technique slow motion, usually, the arms are pulled twice (ie, the left and right arms are brushed once), once, the legs are pumped six times, and the small one is used for breathing on the right side. Take the right side as an example. After exhaling your right hand into the water, turn your head downward to the left and slowly exhale through your nose and mouth in the water. As your right arm moves beneath your shoulder, slowly turn your head downward and to the right, exhaling more through your mouth and nose. Increase the volume until your right arm is about to come out of the water, exhaling sharply.

① Focus on exhaling rather than inhaling

The most common problem swimmers have is not exhaling underwater. If you exhale underwater as you breathe, then when you are about to take a breath you will just have to inhale. This will make things easier. It will also relax you and help a lot with your bilateral breathing which is so important and can make a huge difference in your swimming.

② Keep your head stable when not breathing

Between breaths, keep your head still. Don't let it roll with your body - rolling will make you dizzy and really mess with your coordination.

If you ever think about turning your head, focus on one point on the bottom of the pool. Only turn your head when you are taking a breath. This will make you feel a little strange at first, but will soon start to feel good. You'll find that the rest of your stroke feels more coordinated. If you struggle with keeping your head coordinated and steady, imagine a half-full champagne glass resting on top of your head, and you have to keep your head very still or it will spill. Sometimes just thinking like this can help you achieve this goal. You can also simulate arm strokes by bending forward in shallow water or on shore while keeping your head still.

③Breathing in a small hole: Your vortex is your friend

As you move your head and body through the water, you create a "vortex" similar to that created by a boat. The shape of the vortex indicates that the water level is dropping along the sides of the swimmer's face. This will create a groove on the sides of your body and head that is below the surface of the pool - so there is air lower than you would like. Breathe in this groove without lifting your head to inhale. Sometimes swimmers call it "breathing into the pocket" because it looks like there is a pocket of air next to your head. To create a vortex, you don't have to swim fast; even swimming slowly can create a pocket that is suitable for you to breathe into. Many swimmers are unaware of the existence of this vortex.

④Don’t look up

The problem with lifting your head to breathe is that the body behaves the same way you see it and your legs are sinking. This will add additional drag. With grooves and air pockets around your head, you don't have to lift your head to breathe. To breathe into the sink you just have to turn your head a little without lifting it up. If you try to lift your head, you will disturb the vortex that has formed. Reduce this sink. Also, when you look up you will tend to breathe too far out - try breathing above and in front of the vortex. Therefore, lifting your head disturbs the vortex - it's a vicious cycle. Instead, trust the air pocket and keep your head low. If you're struggling to find air pockets, a good exercise is to practice swimming with fins in the Superman position - one arm out in front of you while the other rests at your hip. Lightly kick the water with your lead arm while looking down at the bottom of the pool. When you need to breathe, simply turn your head slightly to find the air pocket and breathe.
