I am trying to condition myself to breath every 3 strokes instead of 2. Will this help make me a faster and more efficient swimmer? Are their any other benefits that I will receive from breathing every 3 strokes?

How important is oxygen to you?You can certainly swim straighter with bilateral breathing.I don't know of any elite swimmers who breathe bilaterally consistently in races over 200 because the need for O2 is greater than any efficiency gain.
I think you should try breathing every 3 in your best events. :)
