How to Breathe in the Water | Beginner Breathing Drills | Nitro Swimming

coach michael nitro we're going to talk again a very very common question the breathing the breathing the breathing how do you breathe while you're swimming well we want to make sure that we're breathing we're not trying to put everything we have in that one breath we're also not going to hold our breath for a long long long long time until you become desperate to get that breath [Music] so we want to breathe frequently we want to breathe often and we want to breathe comfortably so doing those things when when we're swimming we're not going to blow everything out so i'm swimming and i'm totally without an air so now when i turn my head there's only one way to go and that's it no matter what's there i'm going to save a little bit i'm always going to save so if my lungs are tanks let's say they're tanks i'm going to keep them somewhere between three quarters full and a half full three quarters tall half full three quarters full half full that's what i'm going to do i'm not going to blow it to empty i'm not going to breathe in it's totally full so the best way to practice this is to be doing what we call bobs underwater blow some air come out and get a breath on your water blowing some air drop and get a breath i'm gonna pull out of my nose primarily and i'll switch at the last second you'll see me come up with a little bit of a a little bit of a movement of air going out to try to get those water droplets away from my mouth before i inhale i don't want those going in even one drop it's going to make me cough not comfortable let's start with now with the bombs i'm going to use the word air is coming out of my nose perfect i'm going to come back up i'm going to go pop pop before i breathe back in that'll clear the water off around the mouth watch [Music] each time before i reload with more air i'm making sure the water gets clear [Music] before you can actually swim and breathe you've got to become a master at doing the bombs if you ever get in problems later on get confused always refer back to the box again you can do in your bathtub you do it in a sink whatever you need anything of water here's the secret here in front of your dad you get good at that now watch how it translates into swimming freestyle breathing on the side side breathing with doing instead of vertical bobs it's kind of a horizontal swimming with bobs watch i'll do three bombs first and then i'll swim same rep watch [Music] same breathing exactly have a great day [Applause] and don't forget the three rules number one don't get frustrated number two be patient number three practice you
