It seems intuitive that you should breathe in and out when your mouth is out of the water, but this isn’t the best way. Many swimmers make the mistake of holding their breath while swimming. You should exhale while your mouth is underwater and inhale when it’s out of the water.
After inhaling and returning your head to the water, patiently and slowly exhale. #swimming #freestyleswimming
