Bob Bowman, who has been very active in educating the swimming community on the dangers of shallow water blackout, recently took to social media to plead for a stop to the practice pf prolonged breath-holding: "PLEASE STOP EXTENDED BREATH-HOLDING ACTIVITIES. THEY ARE NOT RELEVANT TO COMPETITIVE SWIMMING PERFORMANCE AND CAN BE FATAL."
I couldn't agree more.
