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.

All of the above. Sometimes every 3, sometimes every 2 or 4 on left or right side. In some longer races I try varying by breathing pattern to help control my pace and avoid going out too fast at the beginning.
