I just started doing this this week and have already felt an improvement in my stroke. So I was just curious to know if anyone else breathes to the side on fly? If you do, do you keep your head to the side, or do you flip back and forth between front and side? What advatages to you notice to side breathing as compared to front? How to you make adjustments for the arm you can't see? If you don't, have you ever considered trying it? What advantages to you see in breathing to the front as compared to the side? Just thought it would be interesting to find out about different peoples swimming styles.

    Where I swim, there is a very heavy set boy who side breaths. His stroke doesn't seem to be any different than anyone else's stroke except for the head motion. When I've tried it, it has seemed very ackward. Maglischo does not recommend it. Also, frequently, I have enpough problems doing fly!!!!!!!!
