One of my goals for this year is to learn to breathe (freestyle) with one goggle in the water. As it is, my form/balance is ok (I don't lift my head for air) but I rotate more than I need to.
Are there drills for this? Or is it simply a matter of trial and error? For those of you who do this well, what do you see when you rotate to breathe? Is there a specific focal point that helps? Or do you not look at all? I asked one of the elite swimmers at my pool, and she said, "I don't know, I keep my eyes closed!"

Do I have this straight?
Rotate shoulders = Good.
Rotate shoulders without over rotating head = Good
Just like in Happy Gilmore - "it's all in the hips." ?
