I breathe on one side. I would like to start training myself to alternate breathing-any drills to suggest?

Alternate side breathing is one of the most overrrated things in swimming. Watch the trials and tell me how many people do this -- almost nobody.
I was extremely surprised at the number of US Olympic Trials swimmers who didn't bilateral breath...And it was nailed into me to breathe every three or else. I guess it comes down to what works for you.
I thought it was also interesting how many different butterfly breathing patterns there were.
