Can you start on both sides?

He's a whale, they have a breathing hole on the back side it's ok, unless someone hits a golf ball that lands in the breathing hole. :D I learned to streamline off the dive and walls with the strongest hand underneath, so the first pull would then be by one's stronger arm; this should result in more pulls per length by that stronger arm over the long-run. It's like a lead-off hitter in a baseball lineup - the lead-off hitter gets more at-bats per game and over the season, so you want a lead-off hitter to have the highest on-base percentage and be in position to score more often. For me, my right arm is stronger and dominant, i also come off the wall on my right side, and breathe on the right. Based on James Adams' coaches' admonitions (you could hear it all the way over to the east coast), I'm trying not to breathe right side on breakout. I think phelps and other elite swimmers don't have a "stronger arm," so for them the decision is technique based.
