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 asked Jason Lezak that question last fall because I noticed that he breathed every stroke during his 100M Free. His words "If you don't breathe every stroke you will die like a dog." So I've been doing the same when I do fast 100s and it helps. Guess Jason knew what he was talking about :)
