The Best Side Breathing Technique: Don'T Practice Freestyle Swimming Before Watching This Video

Beautiful. Audience can tell too. She figured it out. We're gonna have Eureka, okay? Yeah, either way works for me, guys. Either way works for me. I love it. Breathing. Now breathing has four parts to it. Pop-ups, pineapples, pirates, patterns. Pop-ups are for little kids. Since they can't swim yet. Like a toddler. Who can't really hold their bodies. At the surface just right. So they just surface for a breath. They pop up and submerge again. Most adults can skip that one. We move right to pineapples. Pineapples are for everyone. Once they begin lessons. It's how you roll back. It's how you side breathe too. Since anyone can roll onto their back. Like this, or to the side like that. But just because you're you. Who can roll to the side fine. It doesn't define you. Who can roll back easily. That's why we ensure everyone. Can roll all the way over. Because being fully rolled. Enables a half roll. But not vice versa. Even if you roll halfway. Doesn't mean you can rotate fully, right? Now, she'll keep her arms extended. She'll pull one arm down to roll. Ending on her back, chin up. Kick briefly, then you can dismount. Okay, let me show you again. But this time moving in the. Same direction as you. Pull one arm down, breathe. Now pull the other, onto your back. Chin up, kick, paddle, then stand. Great job. You got your breath perfectly. Just watch that rise as you come up. This time, stay lower. Closer to the water surface. By just rolling your shoulders or hips. During that pull. Let me demonstrate for you. And watch my head and body position. And how they don't lift at all. Now I'll have her stay closer to the water. So she ended up turning slower. Turning slower keeps you low. But you might get water in your nose. Don't turn too slowly. Maybe you'll just have to turn quickly. And rise a bit as a beginner. As long as you don't sink. And splash your face. We'll call it a successful breath. And hold that position. Okay, let's have her do this again. To ensure it's clean and effective. Roll that arm faster. Beautiful. Nice, that looked pro. Yeah, she's realizing it feels professional too. Beautiful, the audience sees it too. So we're working on her pineapples. Now let's have her breathe like a pirate. As a pirate, or an adult. You don't have to keep one goggle submerged. Just to act like a pirate. It's better to just keep your chin dry. Focus on your chin, not your goggles. For children, we mention their goggles. Staying underwater because they often lift. They lift their entire head out of the water. Adults do too, but less so once told. To keep their head close to their shoulder. So for adults, during pirate breathing. And for you, keep your arm. And your head stable. Your shoulder and ear. Or keep your head connected right here. Okay, that's crucial for you as an adult. We'll practice hand lead kicking. Breathing throughout the drill. You don't need to submerge your face. Just focus on the right head position. Maintaining that connection here, okay? Now, I'll demonstrate this drill. Rotate face down and up. If you need an extra breath. When you turn to the side, you still can. Blow some of that out of your nose. I know it's in there. So as you turn to the side. Remember to exhale through your nose. Or release the air out of your nose. So that as you're turning to the side. And your nose is becoming more vulnerable. To water going in it, you're blowing out, it won't. It's impossible. If you're blowing out. It's physically impossible. For water to get inside. There we go. Let's talk about that. When you put your face back in. And came up blowing air. It was perfect. Why did you go back under? Exhaling makes you sink. So when you're breathing to the side. And you've let out a little bit of air. The right reaction would be just increase the kick. There's nothing you can do. About having let out all that air. Above all else, don't sit underwater with your face up. You're just inviting water up your nose. If your face is underwater and you screwed up the breath. Put your face down and get the next one. Deep breath, good. Don't push down, don't push down. Good, don't push down, good, good. Don't push down, good. Roll, roll, good. Chin up, good, good. Patterns for her is gonna be four. So every fourth stroke, she's gonna take a breath. To the side, and she, right now, in our review. Can take more than one breath. And then four more strokes, okay? Good call. Good call both times. Your face submerged again. Once you caught that breath. She's not a strong enough swimmer yet. To stabilize her hand lead kicking. Taking two breaths. So she'll be limited to one breath today. Rather than forcing her. To sustain her hand lead kicking. I'm just gonna jump her forward. To only taking one breath. Anyway. Or not. She's got it. We're gonna have a eureka moment. Either way works for me. Either way is fine. I love that. So, swim freestyle to the other end. When you need a breath, breathe to the side. But if you need more air. Or if you swallow water. Then roll onto your back to pineapple. And backstroke kick as needed. Breathe quickly. Did you surprise yourself with that speed? Yes. All right, good. Good. That's what swimming with a body line will do for you. You're going to go way faster with way less effort. And you're thinking, well. That's what the fins will do for you. No, no, no, no, no, no. Oh my gosh. No, everyone's going to surprise themselves. With their fins. You were about to crash on the wall. You were going so fast. She's so fast. Good call. We'll wrap up with one more thing. Let's talk about the pull. I'll mention this to her now. I've watched all week. And I don't want her doing this at home. No, you're doing fine. It's a tiny correction. But as your hands reach forward. You're being so careful. Place them in the water. And your arm creates unnecessary weight. Drop it. Okay? Don't pause when it's out front. Drop it, push it. You'll be even faster now. I didn't think it'd make you faster. I just thought it'd be easier.
