I have always thought that one cannot store O2 in the body.How is a "debt" created then?? It seems to me that a better description would be "Oxygen need".......
Some of us are puzzled by the following questions:
1. At what point during a short race does the discomfort of not breathing become a real need ?
2. We all know that you can swim faster at free and fly without the breathing process interfering with our stroke. We also know that swimming a longer distance requires a constant O2 intake. Is this a time thing or a distance problem ?
Emmet, and others, weigh in here will you ??

I must have read a dozen articles by now regarding this topic.
Bottom line for this flyer : Breathe on demand, pay debts later.
