3-breath, 5-breath, and 7-breath Pattern
The child swims 25 meters freestyle, breathing only every third arm stroke, alternating the breathing side and exhaling entirely underwater. Emphasize exhaling a large portion of air with each stroke so the lungs can refill with fresh, oxygen-rich air. If the 3-breath pattern works well, try a 5-breath or 7-breath pattern. Trains rhythm, proper exhalation and cardiovascular endurance.
