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?
Staying oxygenated obviously has its benefits.
Sun Yang has been know to breathe not just every stroke but every arm cycle. You can see him do that right after the first turn in this clip. And on every turn after that.

Thanks for posting the video. Sun Yang's swim is a thing of beauty. Technically flawless. 27 strokes a length LCM is unreal. I'm waiting to see what he does in London. Maybe he'll start picking up the pace before his last 100!
