“In summary, learn to breathe quickly with a low-profile breath to reduce frontal drag. Release some air from your nose after the breath, while looking down, not forward. Adopt the breathing pattern (respiratory rate) that is appropriate for the event, your age, aerobic fitness level (VO2 max), and your freestyle technique (stroke rate). Once you do all of that, you will find that the breath in freestyle doesn’t have to be so problematic after all.”
