Is there a rule that we must breathe every stroke? I find if I breathe each stroke I cannot exhale enough air so by the end of the lap I feel like I have too much air in already. Does that make sense? If I breathe every other then I don't have that trouble.
Silverdolphin,
Based on your description, it sounds like your turn-over is too fast which does not allow you enough time to exhale.
As an experiment, I suggest you make the streamline glide at the front of each stroke longer (try 2 seconds). This gives you more time to exhale, reduces drag, and reduces the effort you are expending.
Good Luck.
