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??
the main thing you want to do is just make sure that you are breathing on both sides at least in practice, otherwise you'll have neck problems.
Bah. I breathe almost exclusively to my right and have never had neck problems.
I think everyone should learn to bilaterally breathe and do it in practice on occasion, but during a race you should breathe however is most comfortable to you. Personally I breathe every cycle on anything over 100 yards.
