  • Unfortunately there is a small window of training adaptation to be had with breath control for some swim events and a certain danger when doing so. Kinda like cycling in a way, there's an inherent risk when blasting down a grade at 70 mph, you must know your limit in every situation. While training for swimming events which make you faster by maximizing UW portions, or limiting numbers of breath, you must be aware of things to avoid which offset correct blood co2 feedback since it appears to be an open loop system. We're not engineered to be aquatic mammals. Well, at least most of us unlike Chris
