I was just watching the Semis and Final of the 50m Free at the World Champs in Japan in 2001 and noticed that none of the competitors seemed to be breathing at all. Is this standard practice for a 50 Free at this level? Here is the link: www.youtube.com/watch

I don't think I could swim a 50 without breathing. My goal, and I've been fairly successful at this, is to do a 50 scy on 3 breaths. 2 down and 1 back. As a 55 year old I think this is as few breaths as I can do this race. I would like to be able to do the 50 fly on the same pattern.
