I am learning to swim. Need help in breathing?
I have learned to coordinate my legs and arms. But,can only swim as far my one breath allows. What is the efficient and easiest way to learn breathing while doing a free style stroke? when i try to put my head out, i immediately drown! please help!
Answers:
Once you can handle moving around in the water, you can try other strokes.

I'm gonna be swimming three hours everyday, but is that sufficient?
When your arm is up out of the water, turn your head to the side of the arm that's up, lift it just up out of the water, and breath under your arm, fast, while your arm is still out of the water. It takes a lot of practice but you'll get it eventually. When I first learned to swim, I used to have to basically stop every time it was time to breath, but eventually I got the hang of it, and you will too.You can try alternating which side you breath on, breathing every stroke, ever other stroke, or every three or four strokes. Some people find one side is either than the other, and others like to alternate - whatever works best for you is fine.
BTW, the easiest stroke to breathe during is probably breast stroke. If you haven't learned that one yet, I'd recommend you start there, since all you have to do to breathe is lift your head straight up out of the water while your body is moving up anyway (actually, it's so natural that I can't even tell you exactly where in the stroke it happens - it just happens when your head goes up). Butterfly works like that too, but it's the hardest stroke to learn so I'd recommend you _not_ start with that one.
You could also try backstroke, which avoids the breathing problem altogether, but if you're like me you swerve across the pool and hit your head on the wall, so that one has it's own problems.
Or you could always just learn to swim faster - I used to be able to swim the entire length of the pool in one breath if I really tried ;)

Breathe out when you're underwater, and breathe in while your head is out. Turn your head to the side to breathe in. The reason why you're dyin on the stroke so fast is because you're probably working really hard because you're not yet comfortable in the water and you're inhaling and exhaling when your head is out.

Oh, god. I'm not good at answering. Only showing, but I'll try. When you have your head in the water, exhale through either your mouth or nose, doesn't matter, I do both. As you turn your head to the side, inhale really quickly. Enough to catch your breath, though. Hold your breath until you get your head back in the water, then, exhale. Once you get used to it, you'll go a lot faster.Sorry I'm not that good at explain, but good luck.
