Basic breathing exercise

Having good breathing technique is one of the biggest challenges for every
swimmer. Because breathing is instinctual, it comes naturally to all of us without
conscious thought so little emphasis is placed on studying it.
Two exercise is:
1. Exhaling through nose: hold on to the shallow pool take deep breathe through
nose and empty your lungs. Do it for 15 times going under the water.
2.  Exhaling through mouth and nose: this time exhale through mouth this
exercise exit from lungs from fast and blow gently its inducible technique
when you are making much efforts.
For better breathing this two is most important first from nose and then
through mouth and nose.

 Dip your chin into the water and leave it there while you breathe in
through your mouth and out through mouth and nose. Observe how
your breath ruffles the surface. Continue for 30 seconds or more until
this feels almost meditative.
 Next, lightly touch your nose and lips to the surface and practice
inhaling through the small space at the corners of your mouth. In the
mirror, notice the "blotting" created where your nose and lips touch the
water. Play at this with a spirit of curiosity for about a minute or until you
feel almost "bored" with it.
 With goggles on, lower your face into the water, keeping your mouth
open but without exhaling (see right). Notice how natural air pressure
keeps water from entering your nostrils or mouth. As you lift your face,
notice how you can inhale easily, even with water dripping around your
mouth and nose. In this and subsequent exercises, try to inhale with the
tip of your nose still touching the water.
 Repeat as above, but this time bubble gently from your nose. Watch in
the mirror, trying to keep your bubbles small and quiet. The smaller and
quieter they are, the longer you'll be able to sustain one exhale, before
lifting to inhale again. Repeat this but bubbling only from your mouth.
 When you can do each of the above in a calm and contained manner,
advance to "rhythmic breathing." Lower your face and bubble out for a
count of four or five-one-thousand. Lift and inhale for a count of one-
one-thousand. Lower and repeat. For an interesting challenge, alternate
between mouth bubbles on one exhale and nose bubbles on the next.
 Your goal is to inhale with the tip of your nose—and perhaps even your
nostrils—still in the water and your mouth barely clearing it. Repeat until
you develop a relaxed and seamless rhythm.

Basic technique to know about to breathe underwater.

 Relax - Make sure your facial muscles are not tensed up as it gives rise to
inefficient air exchange.
 Breathe Out - Most novice swimmers tend to hold their breath underwater
instead of breathing out when swimming. When your face is submerged in
water, you should be breathing out gently and bubbles should come out of
your mouth or nose.
 Breathe In - Most swimmers breath in through their mouth. This action should
be quick and last only a second.
 Timing - Breathing out in the water should be about twice as long as breathing
in above the water as it helps build a comfortable rhythm to your breathing.
