It is a balance between how far, how fast, and how long you will last with the oxygen you have in your lungs. The faster you go, the less time you will last. To do a 25 meter pool, or even there and back, you got to dose your underwater swimming. To snorkel and then dive deep is also an art that requires just the right amount of efffort to get the job done and yet have enough time to spend underwater. This is better felt in scuba diving where beginners and/or "heavier" divers use up their air in about 30 minutes versus the 40 to 45 minutes the same amount of air lasts for the better divers.
Darn! I was writing this while downloading the video. I just saw it. The guy is incredible. I thought it was one of the Pippin type records, the 180 meter depth record, one of those. Sh...t....I've done a pool and a half, in my younger days, I can still do the complete 25 meters and comeback partially to around 5 or 10, but the 166 meters is truly awesome. I wonder how far Pippin and his predecessor (the guy of the "Deep Blue" movie ) would have gone in their prime. billy fanstone.
