Theme of the Week: Freestyle Breathing: A Deep Dive Into How to Come Up for Air

Most swimmers don’t think about how or when they breathe. But elite freestylers, especially sprinters, think about it all the time. This week we start with the basics of good breathing technique, then explore how three Olympic sprinters take the basics to another level.

**Monday** Haufler Toys (The Head) We use Steve Haufler's Styrofoam head to teach both kids and adults how to breathe. It's fun and it really works -- especially with the pencil! #goswim #goswimfreestyle #goswimapp www.goswim.app <https://www.goswim.tv/lessons/703-the-head>

**Tuesday** Better Freestyle Concepts (Keep One Goggle In) Today's video is from our new app and features close-up, slow-motion images of a key skill: how to keep one goggle in the water during the freestyle breath. #goswim #goswimfreestyle #goswimapp www.goswim.app <https://www.goswim.tv/lessons/3024-keep-one-goggle-in>
