Breathing less

What type of training (sets) are good for helping to breathe less? I am trying to improve my times in the 50s (free and fly) and know that I am a lot faster with breathing less. I don't have a masters team nearby to seek out help. What are some good sets that would help me with this? (I currently breathe about 5 times and would like to get that down to 2-3).

  • I would like to see your times at each of 50's using 5 breaths and then 4 and then 3 then 2 to see if it really makes any real world difference. I did something like that yesterday. Taking 4 breaths in an all-out 50 fr was 9 tenths slower than 0 breaths, and the no breather wasn't even fully an all out swim.
