Do you get water up your nose? Please, let me know in the comments!

I have been swimming for about 5 years and have had lots of lessons and have watched 100s of swimming videos. I can swim but have problems swimming more than 400m without feeling exhausted and I know it has to do with my breathing. No one has said to hold your breath for a second or so before blowing out air in the water then taking a breath. I tried this last week and every swimming session since and this one little gold nugget of information has made a massive difference to me - absolutely massive! I am feeling much more relaxed, my heart rate has reduced and I no longer feel as tired. Thank you.

This looks easy me - drowning in the water

Never read about holding breath for at least 1 sec before exhaling, always exhaling as soon as I entered the water after recovering, for me it really has been a game changer. It may sound stupid, but in a few days this little thing helped me swim continuously 300-400m, previously I couldn't swim more than 100m. Thank you!

"My head's under water but i'm breathing fine".

Breathing is the ONE thing I can't yet do with freestyle. This is helpful!

I have watched a lot of swimming videos before, as i dont have the means to join a swimming class, but still couldn't swim. I found uiur video a week ago, one hour before my usual trip to the swimming pool. I watched your video an hour before swimming, and im grateful and glad to say that i can swim on the same day. It might not be perfect yetm but i can swim. Confidently. Thank you so much bro. You made a huge difference in my life.

This is an excellent video I’m teaching my self to swim at age 66 and am doing quite good....but you’re method of holding on to your breath makes sense and blowing out through the nose does work much better because I was getting water up my nose... really awesome swimming tips...... Monday I will practice holding on to my breath for longer..... thanks so much...... I’m aiming for more laps 🏊‍♀️

I love this video. I love that it shows the swimmer swimming for a long time, not just a second or two, so I can really watch and study his form and learn. I am a new swimmer at age 48, literally just learned to swim in the last month. Only a few days ago did stuff start to click for me so that I can get from one end of a 25 yard lane to the other and back without feeling like I ran a sprint. What's helped me so far is relaxing first, calming down and focusing, which is hard to do because I still have fear of deep water. Slowing down, rotating my whole body at once, reaching and gliding with each stroke, keeping my body narrow and arms close not too far out, hand over hand method etc. the breathing has been the hardest aspect, but I feel like learning to rotate and not turn my head separately to the side has helped without slowing me down. I am definitely that person who was craning my neck out to breath lol. I find I am one who needs to breath out completely before inhaling quickly. Relaxing helps me do that. I still have moments of panic and I find I hold my breath slightly when I do this which does not help me. Slowly it's getting better but with lots of practice. I love the simplicity of this video, realizing it is not as easy as it looks, but once it starts to come swimming definitely becomes much easier. Very unfortunately our lap pool at my gym is closing for a month due to covid shut downs, so I will have to go through this again when I return but hopefully with more knowledge and skill! I plan to practice dipping and holding head in bathtub and breathing out just to keep that feel of being in water going.

I'm 15 and I've been swimming and acting (theater) with my youth group for about 3 years now. I put so much force in my strokes which causes me to get tired faster. I've watched TONS of videos on how to relax better and swim with out using much force. It wasn't my strokes that have been making me get tired fast. I have an ok form. It's my breathing. I think that's what's wrong with most people. My 200m (dont quote me on this) I think I average around 3:30-4 minutes. Again, remember. like I said, I've been only swimming professionally or seriously for 3 years now. I'm 15 years old. I really want to go to the Olympics one day!

This was amazing. Unbelievably helpful and to the point. I've always had a serious issue with breathing and your tips and drills helped me a lot in just one session. I'll be watching all your videos and doing all your drills. I hope anyone who is struggling with swimming comes across your amazing channel. Hats off 🙏🙏🙏

The challenge for me is how to breathe during freestyle. I can go for 10sec without breathing...How do l ensure that l don't drink water while trying to breathe?

Great teacher! This improved my swimming significantly. He addresses the problems.

The BEST video to learn "what to do inside the water " before the next breath. Clear, easy...

These are some great videos. I have a mile swim test (I’m not a swimmer) for my job and I’ve been struggling. These videos will certainly help

My swimming is exactly like that! Not enough time to breathe and struggling to swim fast and smoothly. I had no idea because as a child when I learned swimming, nobody taught me how to breathe! Thank you so much for sharing the techniques.

Thank you. The breathing technique were very helpful and I'll apply these technique to practice daily.🏊🏽

This is the best channel to learn to swim. Plase, continue to produce more of these.

Love your vids I watch them before going swimming!Got a new subscriber😁😀

I love watching these videos. He's a fantastic swimmer. I've learned a lot watching him

I love you man, I'm 29 years old and I just learned breathing whole swimming

Everything is easy near the wall but I panic when try to float or exhale in mid of the pool. It's been two days I started learning and I think your videos will help in not panicking. Thanks for posting.

Idk if you are born in water or sth but you have mentioned every error I do while I swim. Thanks man I really appreciate what you do

I don't have more water in my nose since I was going to practicing the exercises explained in detail in this video. I am very happy because I can swim better than my friends who's has many years experience in swim. I am very happy so much thank you very much

I would start this video with the second part of it and first part then...could make more sense for beginners)

Thank you this was very very helpfu!!

I love how you broke this down. Nicely done 👏🏻🏊🏼‍♀️

Thanks for the video. My swimming 🏊 just got much better.

I have went into water first time in my life for last one week, all with the help of your videos... I am facing two problems, when breathing in, I suck water into my mouth which is flowing down from the head (not wearing cap), secondly when I let go my hands off the wall while trying to float , I tip over to left or right side until face up and back down in water (feeling like falling down and get panicked)

I can do swimming but I have difficulties with breathing. Thank you , i'll try

Thanks for the amazing technique sir... We'll wait for your next tutorial...about correct kicking

That's how I swim I sink I swim best when I hold my breath

thanks for helping my problem!!!

Thanks, I'm learning how to swim and this is helpful

Thank you very much for your lession This is the best one Instructor Hopely you will have a good student....

thank you very much ! i go practice it now .

Great tutorial. Thanks for this.Will try it out.I bring out my head while swimming breaststroke but just don't breathe.Now I know I have to breathe out first underwater.

I am 42 never swim in my life so I take a step to learn swim now this will be the first experience for me.

thanks my friend, this awesome advices have been helping extremely a lot

Swimming is an Art

Absolutely a very helpful video. Thumbs up thanks for the video

THANK YOU, SwimUp !

Thanks for sharing right information.

Great and precious tutorial. Thanks

Thanks for the tips. I will definitely follow the steps so I couldn't get water into my nose anymore. Hope also to conquer my hydrophobic state. But good thing, I've been enjoying my swimming lessons everytime. New subs anyways. Thanks again.

I started practicing breathing out in the water and I can already see some improvement. Squats are helpful and I can do them without any effort but using that technique in freestyle or breaststroke is still not so good for me. I keep losing my breath and I have no clue how you can inhale in freestyle and not swallow water. It requires a lot of patience but I'm sure it will get better.

Este es el mejor vídeo de natación que he visto en KZfaq, congratulations!!!!

Best videos for swimming

Five star instructions thank you !

Thank you! Very informative and inspiring!

Thankyou, will try this. 👍

Thank you very much for your instruction

The squat and facing down floating breathing worked for me, but the leaning back down one didn't. Even if I blow from my nose before going in I still manage to breathe in. After this video I managed to not be afraid to attempt to swim in shallow water though so thanks

thanks for this post... so helpful

quite useful video. thanks

Thank you so much sir for giving us such a great lesson.

I HAVE LEARNT AND I HOPE TO PUT IN PRACTISE THIS EXERCICES . MANY THANKS EUGENY

I only get water through my nose when I try to be in horizontal position, however, the exercise you provided is a good one to practice. Also, I will do the other exercises for breathing because I believe I need them. I learned that it is recommended to inhale through the mouth, and breath out through the nose. I think it makes sense because, you do not want to get water when trying to get a good amount of air. I saw that the video mentions, “You must use the full capacity of your lungs by expanding your chest out”, that is an easy task when you are on the ground, but different when you are swimming. What I will try to do is take a breath, hold it and don’t breath out because it was said, “breathing out is only in the water.”

I will try this tomorrow in my practice

I thought this was a video on “how to breath under water”. Lol 🙈😂

Thanks for the information

Thank you.

Great start do it now

Who else is watching this at 1am lol

Thanks sir for shareringbthis chanel so i can lern more from this

I'm trying private swimming lessons yet again ... can't seem to get the breathing sequence down. Hopefully, this time I'll be successful. Good videos. Thanks.

No one ever told me about breathing. Now I m improving

These are really good.

Thanks for the video. it is really helpful. It would be very helpful to improve my breathing during swimming.

Step 1: Get a pair of gills.

Hello! I’m working on breathing too so that swimming is more relaxing & less tiring. Would you please tell me why we should hold our breath instead of letting air out slowly? Do you recommend exhale strongly & completely right before a breath? I asked people about this. Some say yes, some say no.

Hmm good . Now I am learning . So I will try this and let you in comments. Thnx .

Wow... Thanks

Very useful lesson

Background music is making me sleepy though 🌈

“I tried to scream, but my head was under water.”

thankyou

Thank u so much sir helpful 🤩😍

Hello again, I like to watch this video because I can see how to do it

Thank youuuuu

great video! great! Congratulations and thank you for sharing your knowledge!

This Helped Me Perfect My Technique For The US Navy. Thanks!

swimming is a wonderful thing

Great video. Thank you

yes, help!!!!

I have seen a lot of videos for beginners but none of them teach swimming in a very slow and step by step method mainly the catch. They either show outside the pool or too fast inside the pool. Can you make a video exclusively on perfecting catch?

Very helpful, amazing we are not perfect but we had a lot of learn from here,

I'm trying to change what I do wrong, which is I begin the downstroke with the leading arm to raise my head enough to breathe, so I'm breathing too late and losing driving force, looking closely at this demonstration I can see that at the moment he takes a breath he is pushing back with the driving arm quite strongly and the forward leading hand is angled up to provide a little extra elevation for the breath. That obviously works better with some speed, I will try this.

Thanks, this was very helpful. Cheers : )

Excellent video... Congratulations from Colombia!

i try to exhale on both mouth and nose, but somehow i still get water down by nose, not a nice feeling. and while at the edge of the pool, it's really easy to breath correctly, but when adding swimming, i get a bit chaotic :(

I’m 38 and only now start to practice to properly swim freestyle and I can’t say that it’s hard. As soon as I looked down and try to breeze through my nose by continue swimming, my whole body just freezes and I start to drown 😁

practicing breathing techniques in the bedroom, now I'm light headed lolol >.

Thanks for the video.. i am a beginner and videos are helping me ..need a clarification that while i am breathing out inside the water i feel that i come at surface and still have to breath out before i start breath in

Thank you so much. I think I have figured out the breathing, except I get stomach cramps after a long swim. Trapped air? Any ideas how I can correct this. TIA

Anyone else hyperventilating watching this video ? Holding air for no reason ? Lol

Very great video you have made. Thanks brother K N S G 17/3/2020

great video! thank you for the drills! do you close your mouth immediately after inhalation and before rotation back under water?

Yes

For me the problem is every time I try to breath in water gets inside my mouth, and also there is just a split second for inhaling, I just simply can't take enough air (
