Swimmers are prone to aerophagia when they breathe through the mouth, take big gulps of air or don't exhale completely between breaths. To counteract this problem, practice controlled, regular breathing during your swim:
Breathe through your nose whenever possible.
Blow each breath out fully before taking the next one.
Aim for smaller, more frequent breaths, which are easier to completely exhale than large gulps.
Issues like anxiety and habits such as poor food choices and meal scheduling can contribute to aerophagia. You may need to address these problems to get full relief."
