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?

    Same here. Unlike the standardized camera angle from the bleachers, the overhead view dramatically changes the perspective of each race. You really get a sense of how fast they're actually moving. Hope they do lots of this during the broadcast this summer. Someone took all the underwaters shots, strung them together and saved it in slow motion. If you want to get your stroke distance close to 2m/stroke, it is quite educational.
