Everyone who knows how to swim knows that sometimes there is strength to swim a little, but only breathing does not allow. That's why right breathing is the first thing that beginner swimmers are taught.
When a person is in the water, he spends very muchmany forces, while the maximum amount of muscles is involved during the voyage. Therefore, if you do not learn to do the right sequential breaths and exhalations, then the chances are that in a few meters you swallow the water and will simply be knocked out.
Surely, almost every one of you hasfriends who can boast that they keep well on the water. However, if you observe the frequency with which they stop to pause and catch their breath, the conclusion suggests itself - they need a technique of correct breathing. In whatever good physical form a person is, his swimming will give a minimal result if he does not know how to breathe properly and keeps his head in suspense for fear of dropping it into the water.
Do not think that professional swimmers -these are superhumans who possess non-human abilities. Watching the Olympic competitions, you are simply amazed at how easily and swiftly the swimmers overcome the established 50 meters, constantly plunging into the water, and some even not emerging. All this, of course, is facilitated by long and persistent training, but the correct breathing during swimming will help everyone learn to stay on the water much more confidently.
It is very important during the voyage to maintain an even andcalm breathing, this will avoid panic and tension throughout the body. Undoubtedly, keeping such a breath is easier and best when there is a special tube, but not always such a device is at hand. The basic rule, which immediately the coaches try to convey to the swimmers: the breath to do over the water, the exhalation - under the water.
Now you should pay attention to the duration of exhalation, which should be twice as long as the inspiration. And most importantly, do not forget to train proper breathing on land.
One of the simple and common exercises is so-called "washing", when it is necessary to splash in the face with water, doing with it a simultaneous exhalation.
There is another exercise that includescorrect breathing and contributes to an increase in lung volume. It is carried out in shallow water. Having inhaled, it is necessary to plunge into water and slowly to exhale so that in lungs there was no oxygen. After emerging, you should again inhale and immerse yourself in water. Exercise should be repeated several times in a row, at an energetic pace.
A very important skill for anyone who is in thewater, is the ability to quickly restore peace of mind. Not in vain in any unforeseen situation on the water, it is recommended not to be nervous and keep the right breathing (and hence, a rhythmic palpitation, and coordination of movements).
If for some reason you started to get nervouson the water, it is best to stop and try to restore breathing and a calm rhythm of the heart. This can be done with a simple scheme: first take a slow deep breath, then hold your breath, count to 10 and exhale slowly.
It is very important to remember that no one is immune fromgetting water into the respiratory tract during swimming, but if you breathe properly, this situation does not require a sharp and sudden stop of the entire swimming process. You can cough or quietly cough, while maintaining the usual pace of movement.
Стоит ли говорить о том, что подобные упражнения for breathing will allow not only to confidently stay on the water, but also improve overall health. Physical stress during the day will be much easier to transfer, and you will be full of energy and energy, not to mention the good mood and healthy sound sleep. Be healthy.
