How to breathe in freestyle swimming without drinking water

The method to ventilate the arms and legs in freestyle without drinking water is:

During freestyle, you usually take one breath while each arm strokes once to inhale to the right. For example, after entering the water with your right hand, start to exhale slowly through your mouth and nose. Stroke your right arm under the shoulder, begin to turn your head to the right and increase your exhalation volume. When the push of water with your right arm is about to end, exhale forcefully. When your right arm comes out of the water, open your mouth and inhale until you reach the front half of your arm in the air, and start to turn your head back.

Then, until the end of the arm entering the water, there is a short breath-holding process, and the face turns forward and down. When the head is stable, enter the water with your right arm, and then start the next process of slowly exhaling. Breathing in freestyle is coordinated with the arms and legs. Beginners generally adopt the 6:2:1 method, that is, breathe once, stroke the arms twice, and kick the legs 6 times. This combination method makes it easier to maintain balance and coordinate to master freestyle techniques.
