Breath control question

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?

    Can you please tell me what repeat 50s are? Is it swimming in a 50 yard pool without taking any breaths? If so I can do those in a 25 yard pool. Sometimes when I am swimming i usually only take 2-3 breaths (depending how tired I am). Can someone explain the repeat 50s and why is it that you swim faster when you dont take as many breaths (or no breaths at all?) Thanks for the response.
