I have been playing around with this a lot, and using 3 speeds, high, mid, and low octane as Gary Hall says. Very interesting. One side benefit of doing this with my side stroke is that I accidentally started using the flutter kick instead of my modified scissor kick while doing several strokes per breath in high octane mode. While the flutter kick isn't as powerful as the scissor kick, I don't slow down as much. Typically, I would do a 4 beat kick pattern, with one bigger scissor kick, then a smaller one, then 2 flutter kicks. My flutter kick is weak, in part because I don't have good ankle flexibility. Working on that. So now my side stroke is flutter kick, under arm is doing a breast stroke pull out stroke but long axis, and top arm is doing freestyle arm pull. Getting faster. I have also noticed that doing this exercise makes it easier for me to do a few dolphin kicks coming off the wall, and not taking a breath for the first stroke or three. I have double normal lung capacity, and can hold my breath for 2 minutes, but during the mid point of work outs, getting that extra push and distance off the wall has been an effort. More practice!

I am training for the Air Force and swimming is part of the test. Ive never studied swimming but have specific question about this video. Air Force training videos discuss shallow water blackouts but during training the cadre push you beyond your limits and hold you underwater because they say that when you think you need to breathe you actually have 20-30 seconds before you actually have to breathe. Is this accurate? Also, is shallow water blackout immediately noticeable from a rescuers perspective? Like if I had a SWB, would it be immediately noticeable by the instructor/partner in order to revive me? I want to train but I would prefer not to drown

Using my BreatheEasy Lung Exerciser Ive made tremendous improvements in my breathing capacity and endurance. Additionally, I now always breath through my nose and hold my breath with empty lungs for as long as I can to trigger an increase in red blood cells. I do much better at altitude now.
Ive seen my energy/libido increase, my outlook on life be bright and my sleep is deeper. My sinuses also stay clear due to the nose breathing. At night I tape my mouth gently shut to prevent mouth breathing. Im truly grateful I got my breathing fixed!

i always play breathe holding games. When I feel like i need air i go up.
For example.
me with my friend
my friend asks if we can play a game to see who can hold our breathe the longest
I agree
I breath heavily until i feel like fainting
i go underwater
i hold my breath
i close my eyes
i think happy thoughts
my friend still underwater
i think about a song that i like
my friend goes up for air
once i feel like i don't have any air left i also go up for air
(and that's how i don't lose air)

thanks for this.
i swim once a week with the lifeguard station i volunteer at.
and we usually have to swim a 25M pool underwater at least once in the training session.
the problem is the fact that we usually do this near the end which is when im usually fairly tired and get closer to hyperventilation.
which means i usually dont make it all the way (we have to swim at the bottom of the pool)
so tonight ill try some breathing techniques.
lets hope they make me able to go just a bit further than usual: )

I think I saw this video 2 years ago already. now it popped up again on my feed. as an experienced freediver I can tell you that this exercise is NOT a hypoxic training. It's a hypercapnic training, which means Co2 tolerance training. Never at any point the swimmer will reach hypoxic levels = low levels of oxygen saturation. It's a great exercise what you describe in the video, but it's not what the title says.

when I was 19 years old I bet with a friend to cross a whole Olympic pool ( 50 meters ) under the water and I did it and even go more by 10 to 12 meters and I won the bet which means that I crossed almost 62 meters under the water without a single breath! I was really a good swimmer. now I am 48 and I don't think I can cross more than 30 to 40 meters under the water without a breath

I did notice years ago, that I could swim underwater as far as some younger stronger swimmers because they were sprinting and I was going at distance/maximum glide type of stroke. I had to do 3 breaths/25 yard length on full sprints. I burn a lot of oxygen when I swim, and it was towards the end of the work out.

You did give very important safety instructions which are important at all times in every situation but especially in the water.
Swimming and being in the water should first of all be enjoyable and meditative. Feel being one with the water and just swim using the best swim form and techniques.

I have a question, when you take breath, do you just hold it in and swim or let it out slowly when you swim or what? Can you make a video on building endurance or swimming better at backstroke and fly

as a lifeguard, I always come across people trying to hold their breath underwater and the urge of me jumping in increases if they are underwater for more than 15 seconds
