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.

Wouldn't it be nice if everyone was in a position to afford not to. Sounds like you're saying that if for some reason, which is often out of their control, they can't set their weorkspace perfectly ergonomically it's somehow their character flaw. I had to fight with a former employer for a year and a half to get my workstation changed around so I wouldn't have to go to a chiropractor 2-3 times a week due to getting all tweaked. Sure, the employer listened, and said they will, and due to renovations dragged their feet with doing anything about it, after getting a letter or two from a chiropractor, they still dragged their feet, because during renovations some adjustments that I asked for were supposedly undue hardship, because if they do this and that for me, they'll be obligated to make the workstation for the other 300 employees ergonomically correct as well. I know that the example I gave you is not all that unique. I know, I owed it to myself to quit working.. :rolleyes:
