Breathing during free style with swimming accessories

I was able yesterday to swim a lane and breathe 3 times during 25m length. I used leg fins and nose clip. I wasn't able to breathe from the begging, and stopping with fins when I was with my front side down is a bit harder to do in a short time. I started to release air slowly early, and when it was the time to breathe, I made an move that did help me to breathe enough air to continue. I breathe on the right side and once started to breathe, I pushed my left arm down, to help keeping my head high enough to finish air intake. After I submerged my head in water, I was able to correct my body position easily with the fins on. I repeated the process without the nose clips, but breathing out thru the nose when turning the head in both directions. Trying to remove also the fins, didn't help me to complete the lane, but I was able to breathe twice before stopping.
