Thanks. That's different than Joe had us do. In that drill we always paused in the streamlined position, and ever cycle was two strokes, then pause. I think it has to be a timing or balance thing, not a strength thing, because in every cycle you take a stroke with each arm. The only difference is which arm you start a cycle with. (Sorry, still no video...)

It may not be strength, but coordination and feel for the water on that side. Almost every single world class swimmer breathes every two on one side only.
