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..

Breathing to one side doesn't cause neck problems. Having poor timing, lifting the head instead of rolling/turning it causes neck problems.
I think that you should breath whenever you feel the need too...be it the 50 or 1500. If you need to breath a lot in the 50, then work on improving your timing for the breath, so that it doesn't interfere as much with your stroke rate.
If you are able to breath less, and feel that it is a benefit, then go for it.
