Step 3Talk to the fish. Listen to the fish.
This step is all about learning how to do the proper breathing technique. We won't actually start moving through the water just yet.
First, take a deep breath and submerge your face into the water. The back of your head should be above the water while your face, from the ears forward, will be under.
Next, as you feel yourself running out of air, begin to exhale (talking to the fish, because, if you didn't know, fish speak in a complex language of bubbles) and simultaneously turn your head (I prefer to turn my head to the right, but that's just me). By the time your mouth is out of the water you should have gotten rid of whatever is left in your lungs.
Now that you mouth is out of the water, one of your ears will be submerged (listen to the fish). Take a deep, quick breath in and turn you head so you are once again face down in the water.
Repeat this process while standing in place until you feel comfortable doing it.
