Breathing on the first stroke in distance free

In the finals of the 1500 at Worlds, I noticed that all of the swimmers were breathing on the first stroke coming out of their turns instead of taking a pull with the deeper arm and breathing on the second stroke. Any thoughts?

  • If I feel deprived of air after the turn I get sloppy and loose speed whether I breath on the first or not. If I'm not despirate for air and keep my cool I can actually breath on the first without much loss of momentum, but in order to do this I have to hold as much as I can while flipping to the point of taking water through the nose.
