When I began to work on my front crawl, I watched all the TI videos, and maybe I'm wrong, but the rotation seemed extreme, (complete rotation from side to side). In watching a recent GoSwim video (Narrow Shoulders), using that form, I find that I slightly rotate but not much in comparison to TI. Is there a right/wrong amount of rotation? Also, how does one correct this problem - I rotate easily to my breathing side, but barely rotate to the opposite side. Is there anything else I can do other than breathing on both sides?

Swimming will reward symmetry. If you don't rotate enough on your off side, start breathing there (also, not exclusively) until your rotation is even. After a couple of workouts concentrating on two sided breathing, you will notice small details being corrected automatically. Symmetry is your friend.
Thanks Michael. I do occasionally breathe to the left, and notice that it feels different. I tend to avoid the unfamiliar, and I shouldn't do that.
