The freestyle stroke, also known as the “catch-up” freestyle stroke, is a technique in which one arm completes the stroke and almost returns to the starting position before the other arm catches up. This breathing style can help you support fatigue for a number of reasons: 1. **Reduced energy consumption**: When the arms wait for each other, each arm has a longer rest period between strokes. This helps reduce continuous energy consumption, helping you maintain strength longer during the flight.

Getting the timing of your breathing correct in freestyle allows your stroke to maintain good rhythm and coordination. If you breathe late, this throws a lot of other parts of your stroke out.
