Freestyle Swimming Technique – How to Breathe | The Race Club

A lot of swimmers don’t think about how they are breathing but it can make a huge difference in your freestyle swim technique. Even at the highest level, there are common mistakes in breathing.

He uses his neck muscles to force the head back down quickly to minimize the amount of drag caused by the head out of alignment.
