Breaststroke breathing

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.

  • If you have a good BR kick you should be able to glide at least some without losing much speed. In an AFAP sprint you shouldn't glide, but you should get to totally streamlined at the end of each kick. A common stroke flaw is to start the pull before finishing the kick. If you are doing that it would give less time to exhale and not be as fast.
