I used to do it every four to stay on one side

A good way round is to just ween yourself into it

ie, the first 3 lengths is confortable at once every four, but when it gets uncomfortable, breath a length every four, then one, then one again till you recover, then go back to four. Thus you stay in control

Breathing every stroke isn't a bad thing though, it's just good to learn to breath every four to sharpen your technique

(I'm not sure this answers your question, you'll have to expand on what you meant if it didn't)
