This refers to the long axis strokes. I know many (including myself) have better strokes on one side than the other (the latter is often the breathing side), but I wonder how predominant this case is among master swimmers. Also interesting would be whether some have been able to correct this problem through either drills or sheer hard effort.

OK two questions for those who breathe bilaterally:
1. Do you feel you are getting enough air, especially for long distance or open water? I've read in some places where it's suggested breathing every 3 strokes (bilateral) is not to be recommended for this reason. (Anyone breathes every stroke?:rolleyes:)
2. Are there any who breathe bilaterally but still swim better on one side? Reason?
