Fly Side Breathing Question

Hey everyone:bliss: I had a question about side breathing in the butterfly and was hoping someone could help me out as I've been experimenting with it but am not sure if I am doing it correctly. My question is this... When bringing the head out of the water and turning it to the side do I keep my head in that position when again entering the water or do I move my head back to the front position after turning it. Sorry if this question is stupid but I like the feeling I get when I do the fly like this and want to make sure my head movements are correct. Thanks!!!

  • I knew it was a dumb question. Any tips on how to do that though? It's so hard to get my head back to front position before I hit the water, it's like everything has to be done so fast breathing that way! I find it much easier to just breathe out front...why would you want to side breathe in fly anyway? Serious Question...I just don't see the benefits right away. It seems you would have to get out of the water further to side breathe, which would expend more energy to do so.
