First, try a few more strokes and find out on which side it is easier for you to roll, as that will be your natural side for inhaling. Follow the customary procedure, push off, stretch out, set the legs in motion by rapid thrashing, sweep down and back with the arm on the side you have chosen for inhaling. When this arm nears the thigh apply pressure with the other arm, immediately twisting the head and rolling the body toward the first arm, now emerging from the water.

As the first arm moves forward above the surface, take a quick, deep breath. Then, as the second arm completes s drive, press down with the first, twist the head back to normal position, roll back flat, and exhale through the nostrils under the water, holding the head straight, while the arms glide forward in recovery.

To help you in breathing look upward while rolled on the Ride. That will help, raise the mouth clear of the water. Practice this faithfully so as to have little difficulty in the broathing.
