Saw a relatively new client for swimming yesterday for the third time. The client has been struggling to breathe when swimming front crawl, not an uncommon problem.
After lots of hard work the technique finally feel into place and was a revelation. Suddenly the swim looked much smoother and easier than before.
Timing the breathe to make sure you are breathing on the push section of the stroke is so important. Many people pull down with the opposite arm, using the left hand to breathe to the right or vise versa.
This is very difficult to see and correct from the pool side, even with an experienced coach. Why not book in for a video swim analysis session and see for yourself how you swim.
