It's very common to see a swimmer that's above average to take less than three or two breaths during the entire length (25m/yards).

I recommend learning how to relax in the water before working on the breathing. Play around in the water, be free, and rate your comfort level in the water, if you're at a 10 lets move on.

With flippers or zoomers you can combine relaxation with some form of breathing work together in the same set. Fins will allow you to maintain your DPS and help you stay relaxed. While they're "spotting" you, you can now focus on your breathing, working through the hips and not your head.
