My friend told me the other day that not only do the pro swimmers train in the high-altitude zones with low oxygen level, but supposedly some train in swimming facilities where they lower the oxygen level some way.Sounds kinda hard to believe.Is that even true or possible to lower the amount of oxygen in pools?Or is it just some BS?

Call me lucky I guess, but I've started training (Six months) here in El Paso, and from what I've been told, El Paso has a high altitude.
As for "Flumes", well, I'm not so sure swimming in a low-oxygen environment is a good idea, especially if you aren't acclimated or used to such conditions.
