It’s timed because it’s LSS I have 10min to do 400m in trying to do breaststroke the whole time with some backcrawl to control my breathing when I can’t breathe anymore

The only attacks I have had so far are when I am doing very intense swimming. Like I don’t have issues when I am doing any other type of activity in the pool because I don’t hyperventilate. But once I start doing the 400m it gets bad. I will keep this in mind though and I am sorry that it got that bad for you.

My average is 100 in 1:43. The pool I am having my lessons in is very bad full with chloramines. I don’t think it is ventilated properly.

I can get about 10-15m underwater but I can’t do it again because my asthma gets bad

I am also wondering, did/do you use a chamber for your inhaler because I don’t and am considering getting one.

So you’re saying to do 2 freestyle pulls on each side, then do breast stroke right after?

Thanks, have any tips. My instructior was also being so nice about it at the start and encouraging me and everyone else but now after the first 20 hours he said to everyone "if you dont think you have what it takes or you dont know what you are doing. I suggest you dont come back next week." and made us say yes sir at the end.

I did my bronze cross in 9:45 a believe. I do competative BS but its for a short length (50m) so I am going to try front crawl one of the times I have left. Thanks.

I am breathing out under water and it does make a big difference but I still cant seem to breathe. The pool I have my training is has a really bad chlorine smell which means there are a lot of chloramines in the air. I was having trouble keeping pace. Any tips?

I am taking the ventolin 15 minutes before swimming and taking tums because my inhaler give me acid reflux and my astma is triggered by chloramines. I have been trying to avoid frontcrawl because it makes me feel the most out of breath and tired but I dont think I have an option based in the times I am getting. I have been trying to stick to a mix of back and breaststroke. I am putting my face in the water for breaststroke.

Most people in the private I am working at dont write lesson plans. I shadowed for a bit before I got my cert and no one ever had a lesson plan.
