All,
Just back from World Clinic in New Orleans.
Probably the most important message I got was this one.

Based on the shallowwaterblackoutprevention.org it would also seem like hyperventilating is really to be avoided because this can give you a false sense that you don't need air. I know when I do no breathers I can tell when I need air, but I don't hyperventilate. I think the best advice is to not push it and to not hyperventilate. Underwater swimming distance should never become a competition.
