The head turns to the side on inhalation for front crawl breathing technique. The head begins to turn at the end of the upward arm sweep and turns enough for the mouth to clear the water and inhale.

The head turns back into the water just as the arm recovers over and hand returns to the water.
Breathing can be bilateral (alternate sides every one and a half stroke cycles) or unilateral (same side) depending of the stroke cycle and distance to be swum.
Trickle
The breath is slowly exhaled through the mouth and nose into the water during the propulsive phase of the arm pull. The exhalation is controlled to allow inhalation to take place easily as the arm recovers.
Explosive
The breath is held after inhalation during the propulsive arm phase and then released explosively, part in and part out of the water, as the head is turned to the side.
