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 am a 4-4-2-4-4-2 breather. Pure habit.
Upon some advice given here, I have been putting in more sprinting sets, breating every 2. I do notice less oxygen deprivation feeling in my legs (dead legs), but I do have to concentrate. I detest sprinting, so the change in breathing habits has at least made them more enjoyable.
