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,

Should I “train as I plan to race” or should I force myself to kick and limit my breathing off the walls?
You should absolutely train as you plan to race.
Bilateral breathing (every 3rd) and a single dolphin kick off the wall have become natural for me, but I have been training like that. I do take a breath on the first stroke but am past the flags at that point.
