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.

People who have forward rounded shoulders should do everything they can to develop the muscles that are causing them to be rounded. Always if a swimmer has rounded shoulders it is besause hteire pecs are pulling their shoulders forward because they all over-developed or becasue their back muclesare over-developed and pushing the shoulders forward. this is not a natural outcome. It should be avoided.
Side breathing is silly and really a waste of energy and time! Peole who promote it are doing a disservice to those they are telling to do it.
I've noticed since stepping up my swimming workouts and going to the weight room my shoulders are starting to look rounded. are there specific exercises I can do to get them straightened out?
