That is strange to me. I was never thought, so my understanding was that the person in the back is steering, the person in the front is giving rhythm.
Sure if you are stationary, then the person in the front also steers like in the picture.
I’ve seen that some only paddle on one side at competitions, but I don’t think that’s realistic for normal relaxed rides?
It’s totally doable and not harder than switching sides constantly. You do a J stroke or an arches stroke and can steer left and right while keeping the paddle on one side.
If you switched, you’d dribble with every switch and lose time. Also you’ll be swerving constantly.
If you stay to one side and to the correct technique, you can correct course with every stroke and still move forwards.
