Swim 3 and breath to the side, swim 3 more then eyes up just above the water for a quick sight whilst exhaling, then breath to the side as normal. It loses very little pace rather than the usual breast stroke sighting I used to do and a quick sight every 6 strokes should be enough not to go way off course. That said I'm about the same speed as you, so please bear that in mind as a swim health warning...
