    Dear IL'ites,

    I am 29, and have joined for swimming classes recently. I have completed 10 lessons, and still I find it very difficult to take breath while swimming.

    Basically, I can swimming while holding the breath with the head inside water, and the moment I try to take the head out for breath, I just get drowned.

    Has anyone felt same when they learned swimming? As per my instructor, kids learn it fast and older people find it difficult when it comes to breathing!!!

    Any suggestions to overcome this!!!

    Only breathe in while out of water through mouth and breathe out when inside water out through mouth again. This will reduce the time you are out of water and " drowning"
