Introducing variations on standard techniques MAY allow an athlete to gain an advantage in another area of their swimming. This specific technique comes with pros and cons, but there is a logical approach to teaching it to give the athlete a better chance of success. The obvious advantage to a Double-Breath Flip is that the swimmer will carry more air into their underwater dolphins. This can add consistency, additional speed, and better walls deeper into a race than they currently have. The obvious disadvantage would be if the swimmer's stroke rate slows down, or if they don't get to the wall on the right stroke. The COUNT will be as important as it is in backstroke. The goal is to hit the wall after a complete stroke cycle, and you'll see that our swimmer is still learning the right count (this was her first day trying this). The MOST important part of completing this while maintaining stroke rate and rhythm, is to SPIN the head quickly back to the second breath. The head can NOT stay still during this at any time. The next focus point is to make sure the swimmer EXHALES as much air as possible between these two quick breaths. Coach's should watch for rate changes and practice this technique mid-pool to work on the timing (sorry, I didn't film that part). Swimmer's should understand, the ONLY reason they would do this is the maintain great underwaters AFTER the turn. If there is no advantage, or if they're not using this additional air to gain an advantage, they should not try this.
