I can not breathe while swimming however try. How to do?

Answer 1

practice just the breathing while you hold on to the side of the pool. Some times it helps to breath on your opposite side. This forces you to focus on the breathing and technique. Otherwise swim on your back or side.

Answer 2

Swimming is tough when you don't have a strong lung capacity. Swimming is so tough because the pressure of the water pushes on your chest. Practice breathing exercises first to build up your lung capacity, start slow and find a rhythym when doing your strokes. Some people breathe at different times or more often or less than some, it depends on you. For example, when doing the crawl or freestyle, some breathe every stroke, some breathe every three strokes....it's as much as you can take. Good luck with the breathing, it is tough but worth it, just keep a steady pace and build up that lung capacity!

Answer 3

There are two types of breathing - trickle breathing, explosive breathing.
Trickle breathing is when you constantly breathe out when your face is in the water and when you need to breathe then you look up or preferably to the side to breathe in. Two querky things that will help with this are:
1) Imagine yourself lazing in front of tv and breathe the same, really relaxed.
2) Find a song you like and say "do" to the tune. Yes querky, but i have a good success rate.

Explosive breathing is when you hold your breath and breathe out hard and fast just as you need to breathe in again. Breathe in as above. This is not the most advisable way of swimming though for amateurs.

P.s. If water goes up your nose when underwater then breathe out through your nose as you would in everyday life and it will quell your problem

Answer 4

If you are swimming normally, breathe out when you are under. That way, when you surface for air, you don't have to waste precious milliseconds breathing out then in again and risk drinking water. Breathing out when under is usually done through the nose, but I'm a naval diver and usually swim with my mask rather than goggles, so I breathe out through my mouth. Breathing in is always done with the mouth.

Answer 5

Lift your head up above water level to breathe and dip in again to blow at the same time exhaling. This is an exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide which creates the right momentum for proper breathing in swimming technique and this calls for alot of right co-ordination which is easy after much practice.

Do not feel discouraged or give up as this happens to alot of people after disappointed attempts. First, visualise in your mind what and how you are going to accomplish it then only it'll work fine.

Answer 6

bring your head to the side of the water like you are laying on a pillow. as you bring your arm to go back to swimming take a breath. then blow out as your swimming. reapet. maybe you don't have strong lung capacity. i am on a swim team and there is a boy who has lung problems. he went to the doctor and got an inhaler it helped.
