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?

Me personally:
1) first breath is 3rd stroke off of the block
2) slowly
3) pattern- breathing to same side I use breathe 2 down 1, only gut it out and don't breathe for the last 10m
4) you probably shouldn't be negative splitting a 100
