How To Swim Backstroke: Breathing

Correct breathing makes the whole stroke easier

Breathing during backstroke should be relaxed and easy, due to the supine body position and face being out of the water throughout the stroke.

Most swimmers are neither aware of the way in which they breathe, nor the pattern of breathing or point at which a breath is taken.

Breathing should be in time with recovery of each arm, breathing in with one arm recovery and out with the other. This encourages a breath to be taken at regular intervals.

A regular breathing pattern should be encouraged to prevent breath holding, particularly in beginners.
