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?
I usually start out every four and go to every two when I get tired (usually the 3rd 25). Just Breathe when you need to. I agree with FlyQueen that you should definitely try to NOT breathe off the walls.
