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,

I think it depends on your turnover rate too. Mine is slow; and I feel air-deprived if I'm not breathing every right pull when trying to go fast.
