@livinfreedom Do you have any tips on getting better at breathing every 3 strokes? I can breathe every 3 strokes for about 8 times and then I have to breathe every 2 strokes. I also end up splashing alot of water in my mouth when I turn my head.

@hartman245 thank you

this looks like the same breathing pattern as regular competition/lap swimming. am i missing a subtle difference that makes it more adapted to open water swimming?
what i mean is, i thought breathing to the side was one of the first things taught when learning freestyle technique, indoor or outdoor.

you're lifting your head up too high, which places your hips lower in the water and acts as a break. try to just roll over slightly and keep your mouth just above the water line. you may also be staying out of the water for too long. make sure you're blowing most of your air out underwater before coming up for air. that way you just breath in and can continue on with your stroke.

you too? same here. I've been trying to extend the phase where I extend one arm and get to breath but just end up sinking into a mouth full of water. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Stroke entry a little too early.

When I try to swim in slow motion I usually sink

The breathing on every stroke was just to show breathing. I recommend breathing every 3 strokes if you can. Thanks for viewing! -triswimcoach dot com
