I hear that you should not breathe every stroke in fly because it causes you to become vertical for more time during your swim, but one thing that I do not understand is that when I swim fly and come up for a breath everystroke, not only does it seem easier for me, but I take less strokes per lap, and I go faster. Any thoughts or ideas??
I will try to maintain a 2-up, 1-down breathing pattern for the 200 Fly, or anything longer, mainly for the reason you stated: keeping the hips from dropping too low in the water and swimming "uphill". The 50 and 100 or more about speed and less breathing though, but don't forget to breathe.
