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.

With Butterfly, I found that what works best is to kick. The more I work on my butterfly kick, the better my butterfly is. And I hate kicking. But my favorite events are the 100 and 200 fly.

I really think that people who sit at their desk all day, owe it to themselves to do something to make sure that their shoulders aaren't hunched over infront of their computer screens all day.
Kicking hard and firm will also make it so that side breathing is useless. I noticed this mornign that when some one side-breathes, they aren't kicking as they should.
