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've always swum distance and only breathe on my right unless I'm watching a close competitor. It keeps my rhythm, which is important to have when you're swimming long distances (IMO). I probably breathe 50% every other, and 50% every 4 strokes, depending.
