My coach is having us experiment by breathing every other stroke or every third stroke in *** stroke. I see why he thinks it could be faster, but I get extremely winded by doing only every other stroke and I can't imagine doing more than a 50 this way. He wants us to work up to being able to do a 200 breathing every third stroke and anything less, every fifth. If this truely is faster, why haven't we seen any Olympic swimmers doing this? What are your thoughts?

Here's a link to an article by Wayne McCauley on breathing every other stroke in short breaststroke races.
There's also some discussion in the early pages of Ande's Swim Faster Faster thread. See posts 27-60.
