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 have always breathed to the side, no problems.
One thing I have noticed on a personal level is that the muscle groups I use to breath on the side are more neck and back rather than the chest for "regular breathing". Might have something to do with it
Can you elaborate on this?
