If you find yourself gasping for air after just one lap in the pool, this episode is for you. After coaching nearly 10,000 swimmers over the past 19 years, I've discovered that mastering your breathing is one of the quickest ways to transform your swimming.
In this episode, I'll show you how to regulate your breathing so you can swim lap after lap without feeling exhausted — like taking an evening stroll in the water instead of fighting to stay afloat. You'll also learn the number one mistake most beginners make that can stall their progress for months, and how to fix it fast.
Plus, if you're new to swimming, don't miss our free 7-day email series that breaks down every key part of your stroke to help you swim more efficiently and confidently.
