I dont know i mean it feels like it does.. but it will take me a while to get used to.. im a sprinter and i dont think it will help me sense im not supposed to breath on the 50.. LOL. And its like crazy because my time on a 25m pool for a 50 is 26s.. And i need 23.5 for state.. what should i do?? i've tried bettering my flip turn on the end of the first 25 i do it better .. but it didnt seem to help my time.. so i dont know what else to do i cant not breath.. i mean idk i can try but ugh.. U know??
you don't need to alternate breath, but you should breathe less, especially in the shorter races, as breathing does slow your stroke down. I try to breath every 4 (I suck at breathing on my left) in the 100 in practice for as long as possible, at least for the first 50. I notice its 2 to 3 seconds faster per repeat than breathing every stroke.
