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
My unexperienced humble opinion is maybe they breath every stroke rather than every 1.5 strokes (bilateral), as you, because they are going slightly faster and require more O2. Since you are pacing and not requiring as much O2 you end up hyperventilating with a 1per 1 pattern - lightheadedness?
