Subject: RE: Swimming: Breath through mouth or nose? I have been rotary breathing as long as I can remember...but I breathe in through mouth and out any way it wants to get out...the thing is there is a magical point when turning to the side to breathe that offically your mouth is below the plane of the surface of the water, but your nose and turning your head causes a dip in the water so you can breathe in through your mouth when the water is like that without your head turning to far and without lifting your head out of the water...I tend to breathe evey 4 to 6 stokes on my right side as I said in through my mouth and out through where ever it wants :- ) ...I can't get out of the habit of only breathing on my right side...I try to alternate between left and right, but it is 24+ year habit that I am trying to break. If you are just learning how to rotary breathe you might think about trying to learn to do it on both sides because it gives you the ablity to check out where people are on both sides. |
