I'm new and my first post caused some fighting! Good times! :)
Reading all the responses was perfect for me though. Thanks everybody.
But now I'm wondering why the fast guys swimming the 1500 seem to breath only on one side?
For me I want to do triathlons so I will be swimming longer distances. I've read and been told that bilateral breathing is the way to go. But if I watch Hackett he isn't doing that. At least I don't think so.

I liked Typhoons Coach's answer.
I swim mostly distance. I prefer breathing bilaterally, but one side becomes more convenient because I'm always sharing a swim lane with others. When circling, I tend to breathe on the lane divider side because otherwise, I'll probably breathe in somebody's splash.
Now. What about butterfly? I prefer breathing as little as possible because it seems that breathing is less streamlined than not breathing.
