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.

I guess what I'm saying is that bilateral breathing won't magically make your stroke symmetrical. You still need to think about your body position, your catch, high elbows, relaxed recovery, etc.
This is what I'm interested in. Is breathing the only cause for the uneven strokes? It would be interesting if someone says he/she does bilateral breathing but still swims better on one side.
