swimming and breathing

[mekira]

Same way you breathe on the other side. Your arm forms a "triangle" right before you reach out for the next stroke. You twist your head into the triangle of air and breathe in.

This sounds much simpler written out than it is in practice. It took me quite literally hours of drill to be able to alternate sides.

oh that makes sense (the triangle) A lot of things to think about next time I go out swimming

I'm practicing in my office as we speak LOL Would have been funny if someone walked in!!!
