Five most effective breathing techniques while swimming

Breathing they say is as easy as ABC. Breathing is something that usually comes naturally but when you are under water, breathing and that too correctly, becomes quite a task. If you are a beginner and breathing while swimming makes you nervous, let us help you with some basic drills and techniques. These tips will familiarize you with proper breathing techniques and facilitate good breath control. Face In water If you are a beginner and try swimming with your head up, your body invariably drops. It is therefore better to start swimming with your face in water. In shallow water, hold your breath and couch down so that your face or head gets under water. Good Body Rotation Constant body rotation is an effective step to ease breathing. That’s right, once you rotate your body either way, you don’t need to turn your head further to breathe. Poor body rotation or rotation only to one side, causes disruptions in breathing. Good body roll makes breathing easier. Bilateral breathing If you breathe only on one side, you are most likely to have poor rotation on your non-breathing side. Bilateral breathing or swapping sides, is nothing but breathing to both left and right side.

Like the European football, American football has two 11 member teams, and that’s what is only similar between both the games. The gameplay technique parts its way from the European football. A team that has the possession of the football is called as offense. This team tries to take the ball down the field by running with the ball or throwing it. A goal is considered scored when the player crosses the line of the goal and gets into the area called end zone. The opposite team (which also has 11 players) is called the defense. Being the defending team, it tries to stop the opponent team from scoring a goal by trying to make it give up the possession of the ball. If the opponent team (that is running with the ball) gives up the possession and the defending team scores, then in the next round offensive and defensive teams switch roles. This happens back and forth, until four quarters of the game have been played. Game time The game is divided into four quarters, with each quarter being 15 minutes long. The half-time (which is end of 2 quarters) is separated by a 12-minute break. There are also 2 minute breaks at the end of first and third quarters.
