i breath to both sides and i prefer to breath every 3 strokes even though it has always made my coaches crazy. they prefer one breath down and one back. however since i never practiced that it messed up my stroke rhythm and stuff. i have always loved the fact that summer sanders breathed every stroke when she used to swim fly.

Maglischo doesn't believe that every third provides enough oxygen on distances greater than 100 yards. He does recommend bilateral breathing for age groupers to develop a balanced stroke but doesn't think it's that important for older swimmers.
