The video below focuses on the breathing technique of Ian Thorpe in relation to freestyle. It's recommend to breath every three strokes. It's done as a way of breathing on both sides. The key tip for freestyle breathing is not to breath right after the turn, if that is done it breaks up the flow of the turn and the swimmers momentum. It's essential that a swimmer works on his/her lung capacity, the better breathing technique they have the less likely they will become tired. A great way to better lung capacity is to what is called tiger sprints. I usually implement them into my everyday workout. Try to go as far as you possible can in a 25 meter or 50 meter pool under water without breathing. See if you can beat your record every week.
