Questions for SCY:
1. How many breaths down after the dive? Or do you simply hold your breath?
2. If you hold your breath, do you blow it all out quickly before you breath or empty your lungs slowly?
3. Should you have a pattern for breathing or simply grit your teeth and gut it out?
4. (unrelated to breathing). Negative split--how important is it in this race? Should it be emphasized?
I don't think negative splitting should ever be emphasized. As for breathing, I was always taught that you should breathe regularly, as in every 3 (my preferance) or every 4/5 or some combination of those three. There is also the all important "don't breathe in and out of your turn or inside the flags at the end of the race.
