  • Hi all,

    Just started swimming regularly again this year after a 10-year absence. It's great! However, I've noticed that my breathing is all over the shop when swimming freestyle/front crawl. It's been a very long time since I did any breathing drills so has anyone got anything they'd recommend?

  • It’s been a long time since I did it, but we used to do the numbers game for 20 lengths.
    Length 1: breath every 2 strokes
    Length 2 : every 3
    3:4
    Up to 10 and back down. Then settle on 3 for the last two.
    With each breath try and look at the crook of your elbow, and accentuate the breath.
    We also used to do the reverse- so you say this lap im going to take (say)10 breaths, then down to no breath lap and back to 10.
    Pointless, but quite fun.
