@swimsuccess: Head position when you breathe affects everything. Get it wrong and your legs sink, drag goes up, and breathing itself becomes harder. All at the same time. Here's what you need to know. 1️⃣ You don't lift your head. You turn it. 👉 When you breathe, your eyes should look at the waterline or the nearest lane rope. Not up, not forward. Because your head follows your eyes. Wherever you look, your body goes. 2️⃣ Keep your head as low as possible and lift your chin to breathe. 👉 Don't just open your mouth. Lift your chin slightly and breathe with only half your mouth. This is what lets you keep your head low and still breathe safely. 3️⃣ Make a big blow right before you inhale. 👉 As you turn, exhale strongly through your nose and mouth. That creates an air pocket next to your mouth. And that pocket is what stops you from swallowing water and lets you inhale straight away. ⚠️ The longer you take to breathe, the more you sink. So when you turn, blow, and inhale immediately. 🔑 Turn, not lift. Chin up, not head up. Blow before you inhale. 🎯 Want me to personally review your technique?
