Breathing is an essential aspect of front crawl/freestyle swimming, and it can be challenging to get right. Here are some tips for breathing while doing front crawl/freestyle swimming using an underwater pull and out of water recovery breaths:


Exhale underwater: As you begin the underwater pull, exhale through your nose and mouth. This will help you expel any air left in your lungs and prepare you to take a deep breath when you come up for air.


Time your breaths: To maintain your rhythm, it's important to time your breaths correctly. Take a breath every two or three strokes, depending on your comfort level and swimming speed.


Rotate your body: As you reach for the water with one arm and pull with the other, rotate your body to the side to create a pocket of air for you to breathe in. This will also help you maintain your balance and improve your stroke efficiency.


Keep your head down: When you are underwater, keep your head down and look at the bottom of the pool. This will help you maintain your body position and reduce drag.


Look forward when breathing: As you come up for air, turn your head to the side and look forward, not up. This will help you maintain your body position and reduce drag.


Exhale slowly: After taking a breath, exhale slowly and steadily underwater to avoid exhaling all your air at once. This will help you maintain a steady rhythm and reduce the risk of running out of air.


Practice, practice, practice: Breathing during front crawl/freestyle swimming takes practice, so be patient and keep working on it. Start with shorter distances and gradually build up your endurance and confidence.


By following these tips, you can improve your breathing technique while doing front crawl/freestyle swimming and enjoy a more comfortable and efficient swim.
