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.

swim25 or whoever else trying to adapt to bilateral every 3 strokes, when you do get success please share experience. I'm trying now every time I swim, but my nose couldn't completely get out of water--and worse, the nasal openings faced up, so always during the very first lap water entered the sinus and by the time I finshed the first lap I got sinus headache (somewhere inside head behind eyes). I think I didn't rotate enough to the "bad" side. :(
I don't know if this will help or not.
I'm a one-side breather (left). I occasionally try to breathe to my right. Rather than doing it in a full stroke, I'll do it while drilling with a one-arm only motion (the right arm); this makes me breathe to my right (or not at all.......Umph.):oldman::notworking:
