Endurance Session #184

Playing around with your breathing patterns can really help you to find confidence in your swimming. Knowing that you don't have to breathe every 3 strokes, especially when you're swimming easy will help you to relax better. Pushing the number of strokes up between each breath is a great way to train your lung capacity.
