Regain natural breathing with the snorkel, without trying to control or modify it.
* Stand in a pool where you can touch the bottom (at first)
* Gradually lie at the surface of the water
* Immerse your face with the snorkel
* Hold onto the edge if necessary (preferably at the ladder, about 30–40 cm underwater)
* Let yourself float without trying to hold on
* Let your legs naturally rise toward the surface
* Breathe only through the mouth
* Do not try to inhale voluntarily
* Let the air enter and leave freely
* Keep a relaxed posture
* Observe your breathing without interfering
* Breathing remains calm and stable
* No visible tension in the jaw, neck or shoulders
* Inhalation occurs without sudden movement
* Exhalation occurs without pushing
* Breathing establishes itself without voluntary control
* I breathe without trying to control my breathing
* I let the air enter and leave naturally
* I feel no tension in my body
* I do not feel the need to accelerate or force
* I feel calm and comfortable with the snorkel
⚠️ Mistakes to avoid
* Trying to establish a breathing rhythm
* Voluntarily speeding up breathing — ⚠️ hyperventilation
* Inhaling too forcefully
* Forcing the exhalation
* Tensing up (neck, jaw, shoulders)
