I was talking to an old high school classmate of mine who was on the swim team. He said that the coach liked to work the team so hard during practice that somebody would end up puking. This story is probably hyperbole, but I wonder -- what is the physiological mechanism that results in nausea, light-headedness and cold sweats when one over-exerts oneself in this way??

Well, it depends upon how its handled. Swimming underwater for maybe 15 yards in a 25 pool is ok. I done it in a 15 yard pool. And doing less breaths on fly or free in a 25 is ok. I can't do the whole thing with out breathing in a 25 yard pool but I can in a 15 yard pool. The coaches in school or age group make people do it 50 meters, even as a kid I came up for one breath in a 50 meter.
