Swimming Tips

After I breathe while swimming such as freestyle, I go back underwater but then, i already get tired after about 3-5 seconds.So my next breathe, i need to get more air and i still get tired after 3-5 seconds. Is this normal? and how can i stop being so tried when i go back underwater?

Even as a kid taking swimming lessons, I couldn’t get the rhythm of swimming down. I can move my arms, I can turn my head, & I can kick my legs…but not @ the same time! All my life I’ve propelled myself in water via doggy paddling, breast stroke, & kicking my legs like a frog. So tell me…how can I learn to actually swim??? I really want to swim laps for exercise. Thanks in advance!!!

Long time ago, my swim team coach used to make us swim another stroke (usually Butterfly) in Freestyle heats against teams that weren’t as good as us. This was to make it more competitive, I suppose. Does anyone know at the National or World competition level if any swimmer has ever won a finals race swimming something other than the Crawl in a Freestyle race?

Hi guys,

I love swimming, and i’m doing it more now… to loose weight. Is it good at loosing weight, and also does anyone have anything they follow whilst swimming to help them get fit (and thin)???

Thanks guys x

My mom is forcing me to join the swim team.

I have taken the American Red Cross levels of swimming lessons and have pased all 6.
Are there any tips on swimming you can give me for my tryout?
Especially for butterfly.
Thanks!
