This was really interesting. I’m a swimmer (swam collegiately and now I compete in triathlons) and I’ve never even considered that holding my breath for turns and push-offs makes my breathing experience different than people who aren’t swimmers. Thank you for this!

My pleasure - I’m glad you got something from it! I imagine that you’re probably a better breather than most people. Your experience is impressive - I can stay afloat but really never learned proper technique.

Staying afloat is impressive in itself! I’ve taught swimming to a lot of sinkers
