Why does it seem that all freestyle swimmers breath to the right? I breath to the left but...yeah..

The effects of insufficient oxygen can be determined in a simple experiment:
1) Swim 100m at the maximum steady pace you can.
2) Try to swim 200m at the same pace.
Pretty much all of the effects you experience that prevent you from maintaining your 100m pace for 200m are the result of insufficient delivery of oxygen to your muscles.
If you can maintain the efficiency of your technique while breathing every two strokes you will be able to maintain a faster pace for a greater distance than breathing every three strokes. I believe it is that simple.
Please do correct me if I'm wrong.
