On the second 25 yards keep your left arm extended and use your right arm to take strokes breathing every 2nd stroke on your right side. Focus on fully exhaling underwater and then only rolling as far as necessary to get a deep breath. You can use a kickboard for your extended arm and fins if legs are dropping, if needed.
