How can I figure out how many miles I am doing? How do I convert when the coach says we're swimming a 3200? I know this should be easy but can't remember since it's been a while.

Ahhh...breathing to both sides....I've heard both "sides" of the story from coaches - one person said, "you have to breath to both sides!" .... another said, "don't worry about it as long as you make sure your body is rotating enough."
I, for one, only breath to my left. Not a good idea, because even if you do favor one side, it's good to be able to comfortably breath to both sides, because you will have a rounder, more even stroke. This morning I was trying to concentrate on breathing to my right for one length, then breathing to my left for one length. My stroke really breaks down when I try to breath to my right, but I believe it's necessary to be able to do so.
What about you?
