Hi,
I have a technical question concerning bilateral breathing. I have been thinking and feeling about it for a couple of weeks.
Do you guys make your upper arm and head touch when you do the bilateral breathing in freestyle?
I watched a couple of videos on youtube and found normally the athletes do not do that. But I found it more comfortable when I do that and I think it forces you to extend your arms further.
Thanks for any explanations.

If you're hitting the cheek with the upper/inside top of the shoulder, you're probably getting your head back in the water a little bit late. For whatever reason, you're either not completing the inhalation phase quickly enuf, or you're just plain breathing late.
This really reminds me of something, although I exhale underwater, I
simply have to burst out the air when I turn my head for breathing or
else there will be water in my mouth.
Do you take a very quick breath and turn my head back or I can breathe
while I slide sideways?
Thanks.
