I've watched a lot of swimmers in elite competition in for instance 1500m who breathe every stroke. However when I swim distance I still have to use bilateral breathing. I've tried breathing every stroke like they do, but I find myself getting light headed. What's the best way to learn to control your breathing to do long distance well? Thanks,
David
I swim every 2nd stroke to the left side. Near the end of my long races, I breathe to the other side here and there. It seems to work for me.
When I was growing up, I would breathe 3-2.
Elite distance swimmers are in a world of their own. The Italian woman that won the 1500 at Worlds breathes every 2 for a while on left and then changes to the right and breathes every 2.
