They need to slow down when they're practicing and concentrate on inhaling when their face is out of the water, and exhaling when it's in.

Swimming Tips 6 - Before you practice swimming faster, practice perfecting your technique. It is the perfect technique that must work with speed to win the competitions.

Swimming Tips 8 - If you want to swim faster in your meets, swim faster in your practice sessions.

Swimming Tips 9 - Learning to breathe less while swimming is preferrable. But you musn't stop breathing. You must maintain a balance between the two.
