Just wondering what the general consensus is on whether breathing every stroke is good or bad. In age-group swimming back in the day it was frowned upon; watching the Trials, I've seen most of the top 200/400 free swimmers breathe every stroke. Is that recommended now?

Below the elite Olympic Trials level, most of us don't have a good enough stroke to do that.
or below that most of us don't have the lung power not to do it.
