*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?

Why do no-breathers: no breathers will increase your excellerate body's ability to utilize oxygen efficiently. By excellerate, I mean a short set of no breathers *could* have the same impact as a long set of 100s.
It is also believed that breath control sets will increase your oxygen uptake.
And finally, a symetric stroke is more efficient than a nonsymetric stroke, so breathing less will improve your speed unless, as Knelson points out, your oxygen deprivation is too great and costs too much energy.
