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

  • My coach yells at me all the time to bilaterally breath. When I am winded I take two breaths on one side and the two breaths on the other etc. Then when I am really tired, I breath on one side (every stroke) for one length and then the other side for the other length--that is bilateral breathing. Just whisper it, "Coming home in the 400 and 200 Im, Phelps does not bilaterally breath...neither does Grant Hackett on the 1500." Yes, I have a strong and weak side.
