I saw someone today breathing every 4 strokes, so it took her 4 or 5 breathings to finish the length. Thought it interesting to know the breathing styles of the people here, and maybe the advantages of each.
Edit: Replace "breath" by "breathe" in the title.

I'm a bilateral breather, but it took me quite some time to get that down with regard to timing and technique. With regard to my swimmers, I have a plethora of breathers (every 2, every 3, every 4, every 5) during normal practice sets. I promote proper technique so if they are doing the technique properly then I am fine with them however they choose to breath (as long as it's not every stroke).
