Often when I make the approach for a flip turn I'm out of breath and take a last gasp before the turn. I blow bubbles as I rotate and during push off. After this short amount of time and blowing bubbles, I'm desperate for air and can't glide very far from the wall before taking a breath. How does one learn breath control?

wow...no breath 50s! Quite impressive.
I had been having the same problems...taking a last breath right before the turn....I could almost invision my coach from back in the day hunting me down for it....(i've just started back after too many years away from the pool).
although I dont profess to have a "correct" answer, I started working on that this weekend, and I focused on a solid push-off and focused on the next lap, and found myself taking fewer of those last breaths.....and getting further before my first breath on the new lap...
