Will breathing every 3 strokes make me faster?

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?

  • When push comes to shove in a race, you will do whatever you can to get maximum o2 to your body. I am right handed...in an all out sprint I always breathe left. Trying to bilateral throws me off my timing too much. In a longer race a switch it up so I am not over exerting one arm/shoulder during a race.
