In fact, the need to breathe creates one of the biggest challenges for anyone trying to swim freestyle efficiently. However, breathing becomes much easier if you remember to relax, breathe out (when your face is in the water), rotate your head with your body to breathe, and try to keep your face partially in the water when you inhale.
