Are you exhausted after just a few laps while others glide effortlessly past you? The problem isn't your fitness... it's your breathing technique.

✅ Why you should stop kicking so hard (and what to do instead)
✅ How to use a swim snorkel to build lung capacity
✅ Bilateral breathing patterns explained (every 3, 5, 7+ strokes)
✅ Interval training & progressive overload for breath control
✅ 5 drills you can use TODAY: paddle on head, 3-stroke + 12 kicks, single arm freestyle, variable breath control & countdown sets
