Training in swimming begins with breathing exercises which are the best of all for carrying out in the pool under the leadership of the coach. Correct breath is the basis of the technology of swimming.
In order that it is good to float, surely to float and not to be tired during the heat on long distances, it is very important to learn to breathe correctly. Breath has to be uniform, rhythmical and synchronized with movements, and breaths deep. The most widespread problem at the beginning swimmers — breath holding during fungi and attempt to exhale air only through the nose.
Technology of breath when swimming
The technique of the correct breath is based on the deep exhalation made when the face of the swimmer plunges into water a little. Exhalations have to be without delays as the excess of air in lungs presses on pectoral muscles and negatively affects swimming speeds.
In intervals between breaths the head should be held exactly. Don't move the head here and there, it causes the incoordination of movements. Try to look in one point before yourself. Don't try to raise the head too highly and to look up, from it the neck can ache, but it will become easier breathe to you from such position of the head not.
Exercises when training in the correct breath
For a start it is recommended to be trained in the pool and to fulfill exercise under the name "float". Not only adults, but also children will easily cope with this exercise. Make the deep breath, then sit down and plunge into water for 10-15 seconds. Try to clasp under water hands the knees, about yourself count to fifteen and get up. This exercise is recommended to do not less than 10 times for one training. The following exercise is a little more difficult, but it will help to fulfill breath synchronization that is very important for swimming on big distances. Too it is the most convenient to fulfill this exercise in the pool. Standing in water on the belt, bend forward so that lips hardly touched the water surface, and rest palms against knees. Through the mouth make the deep breath, lower the person in water, then make the slow exhalation in water. Smoothly raise the head over water and again make one breath. Then lower the person in water again and do the exhalation. Raising of the head and lowering of the person in water need to try to be done at one pace, without distracting and without getting off. It is important to coordinate the movements so that during the termination of the exhalation in water you began to raise the head. This exercise repeats during the first training of 10-15 times, at the subsequent trainings it can be repeated till 20-30 times.
