Comments on: To Breathe Or Not To Breathe … That Is The Question http://www.theraceclub.net/aqua-notes/to-breathe-or-not-to-breathe/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=to-breathe-or-not-to-breathe Gary Hall Presents The Race Club Swim Camp Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:54:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Gary Hall Sr. http://www.theraceclub.net/aqua-notes/to-breathe-or-not-to-breathe/#comment-359 Gary Hall Sr. Sat, 30 Oct 2010 16:41:26 +0000 http://www.theraceclub.net/?p=2008#comment-359 Dear Wil, I would never recommend the 2:3 pattern on a 100 free as the act of breathing slows one down, by slowing the stroke rate and likely increasing drag. However, on events longer than 200 meters, the additional oxygen one gets from that pattern of breathing may offset the negatives. Breathing every cycle is a 1:2 pattern, or one breath for every two arm strokes. The 2:3 pattern gives one 16.6% more oxygen, assuming the stroke rate remains the same. Hope this helps.

It seems like the every cycle would be breathing more often. How does the 2:3 pattern get you more air than the every cycle pattern in a 100 free.

That would be nice. To send our kid to the US for a camp would cost us an arm and a leg but if we get to get you in Europe, and share the cost between say 10 swimmers how much would that cost for a 3 day camp?

My son, Richard, was just in the Philippines coaching a family of swimmers for 3 weeks. They responded well to our Race Club training. Please let us know if you need an official letter of invitation. Bebe or I can handle that. Regards, Gary Sr. Jeff,

Especially in the sprint events where it gets harder to improve the faster you go. But I'm positive that a camp with the Race Club would certainly help your son to get new fresh ideas and maybe the little extra for the next step. Regards, Nico Dear Jeffrey,
