lol, to breath correctly, just rotate ur head 90 degree with moving ur shoulder. eg. rotate to right without moving ur shoulder to breath. ur head doesn't go up therefore ur leg won't go down. once ur head lifted from water, ur leg started to drop and dragging u swim smoothly..

rotate 90 degree?.. meaning from the "face down" to 'just looking at the shoulder' position of the head?

It's not necessary to hv consistent left and right breathing when you're in competition.
The reason why the coaches encourage swimmers to breath left and right side is to make the swimmers hv a better sense of its body position and hand strokes in the water.
All swimmers will get used to breath one side better than the other, but good swimmers hv at least not so much different in either side breathing skill.

And it's very wrong to drop your elbow after your hands enter the water.
To swim more efficiently, swimmers like to maintain the high elbow positions.
A lot of ppl mistaken that high elbow position is maintained during the recovery.
But, it's not very true.
High elbow position should be kept in the water too.
If you go to Youtube watch those olympic swimmers' video, you're going to notice that their hands are almost perpendicular to their bodies.
This explains why the swimmers hv big latissimus muscle.
Freestyle and butterfly use a lot of energy from this muscle.

ya, 1 eye in the water, 1 eye outside the water while breath at side..just rotate, not lift ur head. u lift ur head, ur butt go down, not good.. not in bodyline..

the best goggle is speedo no doubt. RM69 buck each. i use ogival b4, but ogival seem not fully water tightness. got water seep in when i use that, maybe my face size not suit but i use speedo it was fine.. so far speedo serve me well for years.. ogival sold at abt 43 bucks.. tabata or view brand is abt RM50+, never use that b4.. TYR is the cheapest 1 i think, never use that b4 also..
