 Hello guys, this is Christian from swim to fly today We're gonna do a little video to learn how to control your breathing in the water while you're swimming We got a lot of requests on YouTube of people they wonder if we need to blow the bubbles from the mouth from the nose Both together how to control the breathing and everything so we will help you today with this little video Today my cameraman is right here. This is Leo. You're my recognizer from other tutorial. We have done together All right guys, so let's let's talk about how to control your breathing First thing when you swim You're gonna put your head under water. So you're gonna be tired if you don't breathe Properly what you need to do is do not hold your breath Inside the water what you want to do is to blow bubbles get the oxygen out from your body To your mouth or your nose or both together. It actually doesn't matter much. You can blow from your mouth five second When you do not have any more hair you get out the water, then you breathe in from the mouth When your legs are full of air again, then you go back in the water and you exhale it another time You can exhale from the mouth. I will show you underwater. It looks like so I take a big breath And I exhale I Think I did a mistake. I'm used to blow from the nose. So I will do it again. I blow only from my mouth Then I take a big breath And I repeat you can do so from the mouth But he walks also if you blow from the nose this time I will blow only from my nose after taking the hair from my mouth. So I take a big breath with the mouth And I will blow from my nose And I take a breath again So the idea to blow from the mouth or from the nose is actually something makes you more comfortable If you have issue with the water going through your nose, I Recommend you to blow out from your nose It is actually great If you have to to do a very intense swim like to swim very fast or for a very long time Sometimes it's easier if you use also your mouth because you can blow stronger and faster But if it's not necessary Blowing from the nose will avoid you to have water in your sinus or in your nose It will help you a lot for your swimming and for the comfort Another big mistake then you might not do is After the blowing when you get out the water never ever inhale the water and Take a breath from the nose Whatever you blow in the water for the five second to empty your legs and feel comfortable after when you Exit the water you need to breathe in right never breathe in from your nose Incase there is a wave in case there is anything happening you blow in from your nose The water will go straight in your sinus and you will be super painful If you blow if you breathe in from your mouth if the water go inside your mouth You can still control to don't swallow it, but if it's in your nose is straight in your nose So you blow from your mouth or from your nose that you do not inhale Take the hair from the nose So once you are able to control this kind of breathing it's just a matter of how much you can relax yourself To repeat the momentum So myself for example my preference is when I swim any strokes, which is butterfly breaststroke backstroke Anything I will always blow from my nose and if I need more power I will use my mouth, but I will always breathe in from my mouth So how to do it? Let's let's try to practice just an exercise for you to learn how to relax being in the water is actually So for some person swimming is actually a bit stressful You feel like you cannot control so much Because you're underwater. So a very simple exercise is now, you know how to blow your bubbles for five second Let's practice where it's shallow where you can touch the ground. I'm in a swimming pool I can stand up on my feet. Everything is gonna be fine So I'm here taking my breath Blowing in the water for my nose and for my mouth after my five second taking a breath again. The more I'm comfortable The more I will go deeper Okay, but still where it is shallow and then I will try to enjoy the sensation of controlling my breathing Point one don't be exhausted Never be stressed like this breathe slowly and easy and try to continue to control that breathing Feel comfortable point two if you go deeper You will feel at some point your body gonna start to float by itself This is completely normal because actually nobody is sinking We are floating in the water as soon then we go deep enough Okay, so let your let your body go deeper and deeper and feel the sensation of Floatability when you're in the water So let's try to practice how it works. So I take a big breath I blow my bubbles. I Do with my fingers. I can't until five because I know after five seconds It's a good time to go up. Don't blow too fast. Not good. Don't blow forever either So I can put my fingers to make sure that my blow for an average of five seconds, which is a good average Now I will try to go deeper and deeper if I feel comfortable, but remember if you start to stress if you start to Get some panic Momentum, then forget the exercise to go in deep stay back on the shallow. Let's repeat this inhale Exhale inhale Exhale I go deeper Exhale when you can repeat this for like ten times non-stop going down Blowing for five second your bubbles without being in panic or in control When there is no stress when you are able to go up like one big breath and repeat this again and again and again Try to feel you can float in the water. Try to don't touch the ground with your feet at some time It feels like you're flying. So let that sensation happens feel you can fly You will learn how to be more comfortable with this sensation and you will help you a lot When when you learn how to swim if you if you feel very stressed with this Don't hesitate to get out the pool and practice first with a glass of water You can do the same exercise just with a ball of water or just with your hands like this when you get comfortable with it Just go deeper and deeper. You must be completely relaxed to be able to learn how to swim properly So don't try to if you fear if you are not able to control Don't try to go through your swimming yet. It's not the moment first control your breathing And then when you feel comfortable with it, then let's start to practice the skill We'll upload all the videos for you to practice your skill in the other strokes. So keep Keep watching the YouTube channel and remember to download the swim to fly app. I hope to see you again soon guys
