@swimsy.co: Breathe basics underwater ↓ Breathing is the foundation of relaxed and efficient swimming. If your breathing is wrong, everything else falls apart — technique, rhythm, endurance. Here’s what most swimmers do wrong and what actually works. ❌ Wrong: Exhaling Through the Mouth • Blowing air out through your mouth underwater. • Lifting your head too much to inhale. • Holding tension in your neck and shoulders. Why this causes problems: • Water can easily enter your mouth → panic response • You lose body position when lifting your head • Breathing becomes rushed and stressful • You waste energy instead of staying relaxed Exhaling only through the mouth often leads to short, chaotic breathing patterns. ✅ Correct: Exhaling Through the Nose • Gently release air through your nose while your face is in the water. • Turn your head minimally to inhale. • Inhale through your mouth when your face is out of the water. Why this works: • Keeps water out of your nose • Maintains better body alignment • Helps you stay calm and controlled • Creates a smooth breathing rhythm Nose exhale = relaxed nervous system + better balance in the water. Breathing in swimming isn’t about taking more air. It’s about staying calm, controlled, and efficient. Master your exhale and your entire stroke becomes easier. #swim #swimtips #swimcoach
