6 weeks to swim longer distance without fatigue
Breathe easily and enjoy swimming more
"I'm exhausted after just a few strokes."
"I can't catch my breath."
These are things I regularly hear from people who want to swim longer and feel more relaxed in the water. They know their breathing is holding them back, but they can't seem to overcome the obstacle. These swimmers are just one step away from swimming longer without fatigue—one step away from loving swimming long distances effortlessly.
If you're in the same situation, then say goodbye to this frustration and learn how to breathe naturally, finally unlocking your endurance.
Imagine crossing a lake to reach the beach on the other side, then coming back with joy. Feel relaxed and swim comfortably for as long as you want. Swim as long as you're enjoying yourself in the water, moving effortlessly.
Good.
Now, let’s take it step by step and quickly solve this problem. Just like Sarah did.
If the progress is slow, fine, but if it’s not visible, it’s probably because it doesn’t exist.
"Good things take time".
This proverb is often used to justify slow progress. But that shouldn't be the case for your breathing. Becoming an Olympic swimmer takes time, but swimming comfortably does not.
You know how to swim; enjoying the water without interruption should not be denied to you. Now, let's see the steps to achieve this.
Sarah only needed one piece of advice and one session to achieve it. One hour later, she understood the problem and had started to solve it. She went from difficult 2-stroke breathing to 4-stroke breathing over 300 meters.
One cue. One session.
That’s all it took for her to understand. She already had the rest.
She is now able to correct himself on the spot while swimming.
You only need one session to begin your transformation. To go from survival mode in freestyle to enjoyable freestyle.
Sarah had just found the right path to become a better swimmer. And had already taken a step on it. But for now, let's not spoil our pleasure, it's great. I'll show you what Sarah did to take this step.
Wake up your diaphragm with this experience
For breathing, there's one piece of advice I often hear that irritates me to no end.
"Relax, or you won't be able to breathe."
I think it’s rather the opposite. If I keep a pillow over your face to prevent you from breathing, you’ll get tense very quickly. Guaranteed. Same in the water. Without easy breathing, no relaxation.
If you’ve tried everything, then it’s not that you’ll never succeed; it’s simply that they’re not the right criteria. The method given to you is not good.
If you have the right one, a single technical point is enough.
All that’s left is the session to practice it and automate it (I’ll give you that next).
Breathing on land is mostly unconscious; in water, it doesn’t work. Normally, when the diaphragm relaxes, exhalation happens on its own due to physical reasons of pressure differences between the air and your lungs. In water, it’s the opposite. To exhale, you have to make the effort, and inhalation will be automatic.
Breathing in water is difficult for you because exhaling in water is not a usual action for the body, for the diaphragm. If you have a swimming breathing problem, it’s not a technical problem; it’s a muscular problem.
You know it but can’t do it.
Or you think you’re doing it, but it has no effect on your endurance. Your diaphragm is not mobilized. You have a muscular activation problem.
You haven’t transformed yet.
The first exercise Sarah tried and that you should do is to swim freestyle while exhaling continuously and long.
Keep your head in the water, still, and swim with your usual technique while exhaling as long as possible.
THROUGH THE MOUTH!
No 2-stroke, no 3-stroke, no exhaling through the nose. Just exhale without stopping.
Once out of breath, breathe as usual and start again. Exhale for a long time.
Try doing this over a few repetitions of 25 or 50 meters (we’ll do it in the session I give you a bit further down).
How many strokes can you take during an exhalation?
At first, it will be rather short, 3 to 4 strokes, and gradually you will be able to increase it to 5 or 6 strokes irregularly.
Not every time, of course, but you will manage to do it.
Great, the first step is successful. Now the second step.
You will swim freestyle doing 3 strokes in apnea and then continue by adding a long exhalation as before.
ALWAYS THROUGH THE MOUTH!
3 strokes without breathing, then the maximum number of strokes on a single exhalation.
Breathe and start again.
Do about the same distance as before (it’s also noted in the session). How many strokes can you take between 2 breaths now?
By doing this exercise, Sarah went from a long exhalation over 4 strokes to a pace with 3 strokes without breathing plus 4 strokes exhaling.
That’s one breath every 7 strokes!
For someone who couldn’t breathe every 3 strokes in freestyle, isn’t that exceptional?
Sarah’s progress at the end of the session was even more surprising.
Everything start with ONE session
For now, here’s a simple session you can start doing today.
- Holding onto the wall, with your mouth open in the water and looking down, do a static apnea for about 20 seconds to see that water doesn’t enter your mouth.
- 6x25 Swim as far as possible with your head in the water and mouth open. Without exhaling.
Holding onto the wall, with your mouth open in the water and looking down, keep your head in the water while exhaling as long as possible. Goal: 15 seconds.
- 10x25 Continuous exhalation as soon as your head is in the water.
- 1 length breathe every 3 strokes
- 1 length swim as far as possible without stopping exhaling
- 50 as you wish, trying to be as little out of breath as possible.
- 10x25
- 1 length swim as far as possible with the first 2 strokes without exhaling, then exhale as long as possible.
- 1 length swim as far as possible with the first 3 strokes without exhaling, then exhale as long as possible, adding one stroke without exhaling each time. If you can't succeed at a level, repeat it.
- 50 as you wish, trying to be as little out of breath as possible.
- 6x50
- 1x50 swim as far as possible while continuously exhaling.
- 1x50 inhale every 3 strokes, trying not to exhale all your air before lifting your head out of the water.
- 2x100 Easy, trying to stop as little as possible.
Each exercise is designed to help you progress through a specific stage of learning. Take the time you need to no longer feel out of breath before each repetition.
Feel free to do more repetitions if needed. Repeat the exercises where you feel most comfortable, the ones that help you the most, and then return to the more challenging ones.
This session was the first I gave to Sarah. It delivered immediate results. It’s not enough to swim long distances, but it was enough for the breakthrough to happen and for the magic to begin. With Sarah, we continued working in depth so she could swim for longer and longer. A few months later, she was able to complete her first triathlon without finishing the swimming portion overly out of breath.
Survival mode was over. She finally felt capable of performing to her full potential in the other parts of the race.
You can do it too!
And after? The "6-Weeks to Swim Longer" program
Most beginner swimmers struggle to swim more than one length because they can't master proper breathing. It's not your fault—no one teaches this skill the right way. But with our "6-Weeks to Swim Longer" step-by-step program, in just 6 weeks, you'll learn the breathing techniques that will unlock your potential, keep you calm, and allow you to swim longer with ease.
My program doesn’t just teach you how to breathe—it’s specifically designed for people who want to swim relaxed, conserve energy, and extend their swim distances.
If you want to swim longer but it feels like a nightmare beacause you’re gasping for air, know that achieving breathing ease doesn’t take long. You’re almost there.
It only takes a few sessions to develop sufficient breathing to swim without pausing or flipping onto your back. Once you’ve gained control of this part, you'll enjoy swimming more and more with each session.
Many athletes in this situation come to me with the same problem as Sarah. She is a triathlete specializing in running, so she understands the importance of breathing. In the pool, Sarah breathes every two strokes to the right, always to the right. When she swam 100 meters at his own pace, without pushing for speed, she finished completely out of breath. At that point, we couldn’t even have a conversation. After 30 seconds of clinging to the ladder, she would say, “I’m breathing, I’m breathing, but it’s not enough!”
Without proper breathing, no progress. No glide, no effective propulsion. For now, as soon as your head is in the water, breathing overrides all other actions. It takes precedence over everything.
In other words, you’re only thinking about how to get air. You’re in survival mode.
Like all technical skills, you need the right reference point—a sensory cue to guide your actions. That’s my focus when I give each swimmer an exercise. That’s what I teach.
Simply saying “breathe” is only a reminder; it doesn’t teach anything at all if you don’t already know how to do it.
You know how to swim—enjoying the water without interruption should not be out of reach for you. Sarah only needed one piece of advice and one session to achieve this. One hour later, she understood the problem and had started solving it. She progressed from difficult two-stroke breathing to smooth four-stroke breathing over 300 meters.
One cue. One session.
That’s all it took for her to understand. She already had the rest. She’s now able to correct herself in real time while swimming.
You only need one session to begin your transformation—from survival mode in freestyle to enjoying freestyle.
Becoming an Olympic swimmer takes time, but swimming relaxed does not.

What they say about it
I couldn’t swim two lengths without gasping for air—now I’m swimming laps confidently.
Sophie
Self-taught swimmer
I wasn’t able to swim 100m without being out of breath, and in just a few months, I was able to complete my first triathlon without fear of the swimming portion.
Alain
Soon Ironman
I went from 2 minutes and 30 seconds per 100m to under 2 minutes during a race. I learned how to manage my effort in swimming to then pick up speed on the bike.

I’m Sylvain Zuchiatti, a swimming coach with years of experience. I’ve worked with children who couldn’t float, adult competitors, and triathletes preparing for their first Ironman starting from zero in swimming, as well as others seeking to improve their performance in shorter formats.
For years, I’ve been testing different sensory and tactile cues. I keep the best ones, change the sequence to determine which is most effective based on skill level, and watch new swimmers progress from swimming 100 meters with pauses to 1,000 meters and more without excessive breathlessness. The method I’m offering you is the result of these years of experimentation.
