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??

I swim (and swam) faster breathing every stroke (always on my left, 50 LCM. Between 1960 and 1962-ish went from 30" to 27".2). The rolling pattern is part of the style. When I breathe, only my left eye is above water and when I'm on my -almost- left side, my left eye is under water. That's my rhythm; if I try to not breathe, I'm just not as comfortable -or as fast.
I can't just bury my face and windmill it.
