Breathing Exercises for Synchronized Swimming

Next up, we are going to discuss underwater, also known as lung busters. Synchronized swimmers do have to hold their breath for long periods of time while swimming these routines. So, it's important that we practice these types of laps. In order to swim under water you want to make sure that you do not blow out a lot of bubbles. You also want to stay as relaxed as possible. Try to keep an even tempo not swimming too fast, not swimming too slow and using the modified breaststroke. We want to make sure we swim with a swim clip on to minimize those amounts of bubbles that we are blowing out while going from one end of the pool to the other. During that modified breaststroke you want to make sure that you take that same breaststroke kick that we saw earlier up, out, and together, but this time you want to stretch your arms up and pull them all the way down and glide as long as you possibly can to save as much energy as you can. So, here we go.
