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 like to bilateral breathe because I feel more balanced.
Ditto. What I find works best is either a 2-2-3 or a 2-2-2-3 pattern so that I can enough air in on the 2's, but still get the balance (& the look across the pool) of the bilateral part.
Of course, when I get tired like on the last 150 of my 400 this weekend, I breathe whenever I feel like it and sometimes will do a 1-1 pattern when particularly out-of-breath.
