last swim session i did i made a concious effort to do more strokes than my normal 3...bilatteral(forgive my spelling im not a native usa...i'm british:)
i ended up getting very used to breathing every 4 strokes...i think it improved my speed though by the time i got used to it was nearer the end of the session.hope to prove this speed increase next swim session....anyone else trying out new breathing patterns?

i tried timing myself on 1500m doing breathing every 4th stroke and it seems no faster ..my time is usually between 32 and 34 mins depending on certain factors and my time for breathing every 4th stroke(free)was 32mins18secs...i know im not too fast anyway but i was hoping that the breathing would help me get my times to below 30 mins(i did flip turns as much as i could...ie not every lenghth)maybe a few more sessions will do it if i stick at the 4th stroke breathing..i do find it more comfortable..any ideas?
