Hi! I'm a newbie with a dumb question: What's a 3/5 breathing pattern? I usually breath on every third stroke, so does this mean breathing on the 3rd & 5th strokes? Thanks! And I'm SO excited about checking out these workouts!

when I write a set with a breathing pattern it is going to mean the following:
first, the breathing numbers (3/5/7/9) will refer to how many strokes you take between breaths.
second, I will refer to how long you will swim with that breathing pattern.
in the case of today's set, a 3/5 breathing pattern, by 50, for a 400 swim means:
swim 50 yards breathing every 3rd stroke, swim a 50 breathing every 5th stroke, swim a 50 breathing every 3rd stroke, swim a 50 breathing every 5th stroke, etc. etc. continue the pattern until you complete the 400.
