If one is not comfortable with bilateral swimming or swimming three strokes but wants to breathe every single stroke on one side and perfect one's rhythmic breathing, it would probably be inhale 1000-1 and exhale 1000-1,1000-2 isn't it? It looks pretty straight but the exhalation does not always come out rhythmically. I went through some of the posts on breathing on this but could not find anything . I know that single stroke breathing would not require the rhythmic breathing skills to the same degree but the idea is to improve as much as possible.
For me breathing is more of syncopated timing rather than a rhythmic. Inhalation is dictated by arm recovery on your breathing side. And exhalation is dictated by how quickly you can expel air just prior to inhaling. Inhale, hold, exhale, and repeat as needed…
As for over inhaling, this sounds a lot like breathing through your eyelids. Personally I usually can’t get too much air. However, if inhaling is causing a delay in your stroke, then you most likely need a stroke correction not a reduced inhalation.
As for bubbling exercises, they teach you to comfortably exhale underwater turn your head and inhale. However, when you begin to incorporate this into your crawl stroke, the pattern becomes inhale rapidly/forcefully, hold then exhale explosively.
