Ok just back from my workout and want to share the wealth...
Tip 1) Breathing works better if you do it above the surface.

Rich,
Its good to think about breathing close to the surface of the water, rather than lifting your head/torso higher than is necessary, but it is probably better to start higher and work your way down to the surface rather than vice versa.
All that said, swimming with a lung full will certainly build character, and prepare you to swim through those tough race moments...like during a 200 fly when your first breath tastes like water and theres 185 yards to go.
I might suggest a set like 10 x 25 fly sprint breathe h2o every other.(but not in my pool)
