Ack. It appears that I am going to have to break down and finally swim my first masters 100 SCY free at zones. Since I'm sure you all have done it many times, can someone please tell me what is the most ideal breathing pattern(s)? I noticed watching the World Championships that many of the 100 freestylers (especially the men) breathed almost every stroke, which is not how I used to swim that race. Were they breathing more to save for the SDKs? What say you freestyle sprinters?
Forty, I go every 3, trying desperately NOT to breathe off of walls ... I was advised to breathe every 3 for the first 50, then every 4 for the 3rd 25, and only 2x during the last 25 ... if I don't drown attempting this I'll let you know. I like breathig, and if freakin' Lezak and Phelps breathe a lot, then I can too ... just like on fly ... :rofl:
