I was watching the duel in the pool USA v Australia and I have a question, Michael Phelps and many others seem to breath on only one side, I have heard many coaches advocate breathing on both sides for a more balanced stroke, Is it now just a preference or what? Just wondering.

Interesting thing going on with me: My stroke count per 25 yards is usually 1 less if I swim the entire length breathing my bad side. So maybe my stroke is more correct when I breathe that way. But for now I am slightly faster when breathing on my good side.
