I like to swim an underwater 25 every now and then to work on breath capacity and control. Like Bob McAdams, I assumed that faster was better for getting there. I usually can only do them consistently at the beginning of the workout, when I'm fresh.
I was amazed by how slowly, calmly, and deliberately this guy moved.
So I tried it today at the end of the workout. Took a few deep breaths, and concentrated on going slowly and easily, working the glide. Result: No problem doing 25's, even when dog-tired.
I have no idea what this means for my swimming, but it was kind of a cool swimdown.
