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!!!
My guess is that in some cases, cervical anatomy might have something to do with breathing preferences in fly & free.
Bingo. Osteoarthritis and degenerative discs at C5-C6-C7 (thanks to an inattentive driver who rear-ended me at full speed in stopped traffic, on the freeway, back in 1992) force me to breathe to the side, if I want to swim fly. Actually, sometimes, I find I have to mix it up in the same lap, if the repetitiveness of breathing one way becomes painful.
