*breath every stroke, same side
*breath every three strokes, different side
*breath every five strokes, different sides
*other?
How often do you breath?
Do you change sides?
What are the disadvantages, or advantages of breathing the same sides, every time?

When I do the no breathers, I will do 25's on 1:30. That will give me about 1:05 rest. I can get the first couple in - as many as 4 on a good day. Then the last four become "one breathers".:)
It is amazing thought how much faster the first couple of 25's are than if I am swimming with my normal breathing rhythm. The first couple are faster by maybe 2 seconds. Breathing seems to slow down the pace. Of course, the trick is to find the balance - enough breathing so that you don't crash, but not more than you need so that you don't slow down.
Or better yet, develop your breathing to the point where it doesn't slow you down at all. Has anyone out there reached that point?
