However, breathing underwater is not the same as breathing on land...it's only a little bit different. Just imagine yourselves entering into an extremely smelly toilet. Most of us would hold our breaths and some of us even opt to breathe through our mouths.
This exact concept is used for breathing underwater. We inhale air from above water, hold it in the mouth, then exhale the air back into the water through the mouth...a little air may also come out through the nose during exhalation in the water. This process is then repeated to be able to breathe while swimming....while doing this, it may seem that we are blowing bubbles into the water. Thus, it makes it easier for kids to understand when we tell them to blow bubbles....
Some sources I found for teaching kids how to blow bubbles...can be applied to adults too...
