Hello,
I'm excited to be here and excited to be back in the water again after about 12 years!
I have numerous questions/things I'm excited to improve on so I thought I'd start with one: my whole life (so basically for 30 years) I've only been breathing on the right when I do freestyle. Any tips for breaking this habit and learning to breath on the left? I honestly can't even remember how I learned to breath on the right the first time around....I've just always only done it that way. I think I'm partly afraid if I just try it, I'll end up drinking the pool..plus it just doesn't feel natural.
Thanks!

I had breathed on the right side for years then decided to breathe on alternate sides. As they say in the Nike advertisements, just do it. At first it will seem very awkward, but eventually you will get used to it. What is funny is that now I actually prefer breathing on the left side (and I am not left-handed).
