Swimmers often express their primary desire as, "I just want to breathe easily when swimming freestyle!," and rightfully so. It's crucial to maintain a smooth stroke without disruptions caused by inhaling water instead of air, which can lead to frustration and hinder progress. The key lies in seamlessly integrating breathing into the stroke without compromising rhythm or body position.

Human instinct dictates that when in water, we naturally try to lift our heads and rotate more to breathe, disrupting body stability and causing sinking. This instinct triggers compensatory movements such as pushing down with the lead arm and widening the legs for stability, resulting in a body position resembling anything but proper freestyle form.

To achieve easy breathing, it's essential to maintain alignment between the head and spine, keeping the body level. Contrary to instinct, keeping the head low and rotating less facilitates smoother breathing.

Timing plays a critical role as well. A well-timed breath, coordinated with shoulder movement, ensures a seamless transition. Exhaling before the mouth breaches the surface allows for immediate inhalation, preventing the intake of water. Any delay or hesitation in the breathing cycle increases the likelihood of inhaling water instead of air.
