I passed an instructor at our pool today who was saying to some kids learning freestyle that if they are right handed, they will most likely breathe on the right side, and left handed people breathe on the left side. I don't know if I agree, so I want to get your poll results:
I'm right handed and I breathe most naturally on my right side.
I'm left handed and I breathe most naturally on my left side.
My handedness and my most natural breathing side are opposite
I am truly ambidextrous and breathe with equal comfort on both sides
I am one side dominant, but have trained my self to be a comfortable bilateral breather

The only hting I can only do with my right hand is write. I learned to swim & flip by swiming parrallel to my brothers. They are both right handed. I learned by swiming to my left and watching them breath and flip. For a long time my flips were really weird. I can both breath and flip both right & left. I feal most comfortable flipping to the left.
When I was in the sixth grade I accidently ripped my left wrist open. I had lots of rehad. That pretty much solidified me as a leftie with everyting except throwing.
