Learning how to swim is almost the same as learning how to do freestyle swimming. If you are just starting out here are two tips to help you learn freestyle faster. 1 - Start your swimming session by doing breathing movements every time. By holding to the wall with on hand and doing 10 breaths on each side twice and trying to keep her head touching the water, Marianna has been able to get used to the breathing motion. She doesn’t get water up her nose anymore and stays lower on the surface while taking a breath. 2- Breathe every 4 strokes. Most of us have a favorite side to breathe. While more advanced swimmers can benefit from breathing to both sides if you are just starting out it’s better to focus on one side. But if you breathe every two strokes, you can start forming bad habits that will be difficult to correct later on. You can see how Marianna changes her stroke when taking a breath. So in order to help her control the stroke technique and her breathing she always breathes every four strokes. And every time on her left side. Now she has a better stroke technique and her breathing is not as agitated as before. She can now swim the whole length of the pool without needing to stop after just a few strokes like she did when she started.
