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

  • Based on Phelps and Crocker it seems breathing should occur during the finish of the pull. No? The breath should be taken as the hands start the recovery, yes. But the head should be lifting from the water as the hands enter the press portion of the pull and the head should be settling into the water as the hands come forward. There is a definate movement sequence that a proper breathing patern must follow in Fly but just saying breathing is at the finish of the pull is a little misleading. Paul
