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?
I also found it to be slower. I only utilized it in the 50. i think anything over that distance it is hurting you (like trying to swim a 100 free breathing every 7 or holding your breath the first 37-50 yards). I couldn't train myself NOT to breathe every time i rose out of the water.
