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?

    Kirk, the other reason that I know of for not breathing every stroke on a 50 or 100 is; every time you turn your head to the side you put more surface area to the water....by keeping your head straight there is less resistance, which means more speed.
