Learning how to do the freestyle swim?

Question

My P.E class is starting a swimmin unit next week and i still have a problem with doing the "freestyle" swimming method.

I'm NOT that good of a swimmer because i've always been afraid of getting water in my nose. So everytime i try to breath while doing freestyle, water goes in my nose. Is there a method i should use to prevent this? I want to learn this as soon as possible so i will be ready for the swimming unit next week.

Answer 1

just remember to breathe to ur side and in through ur mouth out thru ur nose and u should b good

Answer 2

Are you breathing in front? The proper way to swim freestyle is to breath to the side when your arm is up in the air.

Also try using nose plugs.

Good luck!
