Here&#8217;s a few things that you can improve on to reduce some of this helpful noise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Don\u2019t breathe in and out of your turns<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s just face it, even the most dedicated athletes can have a lazy moment. Being a distance swimmer myself, I have grown accustomed to breathing just about whenever I feel like it. Just know that breathing in and out of your turns not only adds time to your race, but actually slows you down after you propel off each wall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Dolphin kick past the flags<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Obviously there are some exceptions to this. For example, don\u2019t <a href=\"http:\/\/swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/the-fifth-stroke-dolphin-kick-drills-that-can-improve-performance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dolphin kick<\/a> past the flags if you\u2019re swimming the 100 breaststroke. Other than that, always use it to your advantage. The dolphin kick was Michael Phelps\u2019 signature move each race. It was practically his secret weapon that helped him take down his opponents in multiple Olympics. If you strive for perfection like Phelps, listen to your coach and do the kick all professional swimmers have down pat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. You don\u2019t need 10 breaths in a 50 freestyle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the top sprinters on my team, I\u2019m always hearing my coach tell them to not take any more than three breaths in a 50 freestyle. Taking a breath during your sprint takes away the momentum you\u00a0built\u00a0from your start and turn. As all sprinters know, it only takes one breath for you to be in or out of a final night swim.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Finish the ENTIRE cool-down<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the end of practice and you\u2019ve had enough of swimming, you just want to get out and go eat everything in your refrigerator. So, you cut that 400 warm down into a 50, along with some dolphin dives and blowing bubbling rings up from the bottom of the pool. It might seem fun, but the point of cool-down is to flush out the lactic acid you built up in your system so you\u2019re not tight and sore the next day for practice or a race.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Don\u2019t breathe into your finish<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No matter if you\u2019re a distance swimmer or sprinter, there is never a need to breathe into a finish. Don\u2019t believe me? Go watch Michael Phelps\u2019 100 butterfly final swim in Beijing. Keeping his head down and winning that gold medal is what made him the most decorated Olympian in history.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Don\u2019t break stroke<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It can be hard to swim butterfly in a lane with a bunch of other swimmers, but sometimes it just has to be done. Don\u2019t try and take the easy way out and break stroke unless you really feel like you\u2019re going to hit and seriously injure another swimmer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Breathing at the flags doesn\u2019t count as doing the whole lap underwater<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My club coach was always yelling this at my team in high school. If you have an underwater set and you come up at the flags, you\u2019re cheating yourself about five yards each lap. That\u2019s only going to hurt you in the end.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Complaining about the set will not change it<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No matter how much you pout, cry or yell, the set is going to stay the way the coach wrote it. It\u2019s meant to be challenging and hard. If it\u2019s not, you\u2019re not getting anything out of it and you won\u2019t go any faster at championships than you did the year before.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Don\u2019t circle swim in your races<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Doing this when you race actually adds to the yardage you have to swim. Would you rather race 50 yards or 53 yards?<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Do the breathing pattern correctly<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your coach says breathe 5, 7, 9 by 25, then don\u2019t breathe every 3. These types of sets are coaches\u2019 favorite to reset if they see their team doing it incorrectly, so you might as well do it right the first time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11. KICK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m guilty of this too. Pretty much every meet I turn to breathe and I see my swimming coach making the signal for me to kick more. Getting into a good kicking rhythm in your race is important for every swimmer \u2013 don\u2019t let your arms do all the work!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>11 Things Your Swimming Coach Is Always Yelling By Allison Peters, Swimming World College Intern We all know what it is like to have your swimming coaches yelling at the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5440,"featured_media":474346,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[17,122607],"tags":[40336,185,6302,129341],"class_list":["post-118707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-commentary","category-swim-life","tag-breathing","tag-coach","tag-michael-phelps","tag-yelling"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>11 Things Your Swimming Coach Is Always Yelling<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"We all know what it is like to have your swimming coach yelling at the top of their lungs during practice, trying to get our attention.\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\r\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/11-things-your-swimming-coach-is-always-yelling\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"11 Things Your Swimming Coach Is Always Yelling - For Good Reason\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We all know what it is like to have your swimming coach yelling at the top of their lungs during practice, trying to get our attention.\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/11-things-your-swimming-coach-is-always-yelling\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Swimming World\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SwimmingWorld\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-01-29T08:00:46+00:00\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-01-29T12:29:10+00:00\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Dean-Boxall-urge-1-scaled-e1657545816557.jpg\" \/>\r\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1100\" \/>\r\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"733\" \/>\r\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"SW Contributor\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@swimmingworld\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@swimmingworld\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"SW Contributor\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\r\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/11-things-your-swimming-coach-is-always-yelling\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/11-things-your-swimming-coach-is-always-yelling\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"SW Contributor\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/#\/schema\/person\/945eabbc242debc9004cc65045e3e874\"},\"headline\":\"11 Things Your Swimming Coach Is Always Yelling &#8211;
