Swimming for Singing
Hot DAMN is swimming going to be good for increasing my lung capacity!
I struggle with long lines, and hell, sometimes short lines - being out of shape and an asthmatic and a soprano is a wild ride.
But I read that swimming laps is one of the best things singers can do to stay in shape and increase lung capacity/work on breath control, so I went. I could only do twenty minutes with many many many breaks in between laps. It was BRUTAL. My heart rate was like, 140 while waiting for the bus afterwards. I’m so out of shape. The breath control in the pool is going to be amazing, I’m so excited!
