How to Box Breathe
Are you struggling to release fear?
Are you not trusting the water enough to float?
Are you wondering, “Why am I not improving?”
If you answered yes to any of the above 3 questions, then this is the single most important tool you can add to your swimming.
It's called box breathing.
See a tutorial here: How to Box Breathe.
How to Box Breathe:
Inhale for 4 seconds
Hold for 4 seconds
Exhale for 4 seconds
Hold for 4 seconds
Simple, right!
Here is when to use Box Breathing:
Before you begin your swim practice session: Do this 10x
In between each repetition: Do this 3-5x
Any time you feel uncomfortable or feel your mind taking over, Do this 5-10x
Learning to swim is not about technique; it's about relaxation.
This tool is the secret to our program.
And now, it's the secret to your success.
Short and sweet today - just sharing love.
BIG Love,
Coaches Jeff and Meredith
