Sorry if the question isn’t clear. But, I’m curious to know why other athletes focus on breathing to bring oxygen to their muscles.
In: Biology
Swimmers do need to breathe a lot, but they learn to manage it. They catch their breath while turning their head.
However, swimmers also work very hard to be efficient with their oxygen and benefit from added lung capacity. Michael Phelps has 12 liters of lung capacity, which is about twice as much as the average person. A few large breathes and he’s way ahead of all of us.
