Next, we want to talk about the one goggle in theory. Now Sure, when you have great swimmers going really fast, they're going to be able to keep one goggle when, when learning balance and learning breathing techniques, it's important to understand you don't have to go with one goggle in its there's not some rule in the universe somewhere that says you can only breathe with one goggle in the water. And if you do anything other than that, that just it's not functional. It's not true at all. So what I'm going to do here is is what I would generally use in, say, choppier waters. Or, you know, if I just want to get a little bit extra rotation, I'm going to over-exaggerate this. But the important thing is that the rhythm of the stroke will not be impacted by the extended rotation of the head, or the additional rotation of the head, it's not like I'm going to go and spin my neck a little bit farther, I'm going to look like this. And it's going to all of a sudden throw everything off. So rhythm in this is going to be very important but also understanding that you can spin your head pretty quickly. Did you see it? So that's about how fast it takes or how long it takes to look to the side. So I'm gonna alternate, I'm either gonna be looking at the mirror on the bottom, or when I breathe, I'm gonna be looking at the mirror above me. And so that's how far I'm going to look, the head is going to be directly up. So again, the rhythm of the stroke will not change the rotation of the head, and possibly the rotation of the body will change a little bit. But all I'm doing is spinning my head a little bit farther. If I get my mouth higher up, I'm going to have a cleaner breath. So again, experiment and play around and don't get caught up into some rule you read somewhere that says I have to do everything like this, or else I'm not really swimming, make it up. Exhale completely, make sure that you can separate the head or the neck, from the shoulder, which you're already doing if you keep a stable head when you're looking down, and then get your air and get back down. So the less time you spend in the breathing position, the less chance you're gonna go out of balance in front, which is a whole nother lesson. So right now Don't worry about keeping one goggle in. If you rotate your head a little bit more and can get air and stay in line. That's more important than focusing on one goggle and good job.
