Can anybody tell me what is the correct position for me to have my head/face whilst exhaling during bilateral breathing.On the third stroke I am trying to wait until I feel my fingers enter the water before I exhale and then move my head to the side to breathe in.:cool:

I was coached to exhale the whole time I'm not inhaling.
So on one sided breathing, I's exhale a bit faster than I would on bilateral (every 3rd stroke).
I was told to not hold my breath at all. There was a reason for it, but i forget what it is.
I think it has something to do with making sure as much air as possible is expelled before you have to breathe in, and maximizing the amount of air you can get. If you hold your breath, it interferes, somehow, If I remember correctly.
