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.

I wish I knew how to do fly; I'm still working on the kick! Same here. I have attempted fly a couple times, but I haven't quite figured out dolphin kicking. I know what I'm supposed to do, but I can't get the coordination right. Occasionally, I get a couple good cycles in and actually get some propulsion, but most of the time I'm dead in the water, and I look like I'm using the Ab-o-cizer. It's embarrassing when other people are around. So breathing style during the fly is the least of my concerns right now; but I'll watch this thread so when the time comes, I'll know how I should try to breathe.
