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?

    That's cool ! In the footage I've seen he manages to take a breath while the top goggle lense is still partially submerged. I keep the bottom one under, but not both. That guy was the most talented swimmer I ever encountered. He just skimmed across the top of the water. When I knew him, he wasn't particularly interested in pushing himself, but would do whatever the coach told him to without complaint. Since this is a distance thread, I'll make a relevant tie in. One time, 100 meter guy Scott Tucker did LCM 12x400 on 5:00 with me.
