Does anyone have an advice or inpit for building up your lungs? I am trying to hold my breath for longer periods after reading an article about it but it seems like I should be doing more. I want to get better before I actually join the group in my area.
I would do some breath control work at a moderate pace. Some 125s where you bilateral breathe and then only take 2 breaths on the last length. Some 100s where you breath every 3, 5, 7, 9 strokes increasing every length. You can also work on breath holding my increasing SDKs while you're swimming free, increasing from 3, 5, 7, to 9 underwater kicks every length before you start swimming. Or just some repeat 25s where you swimming moderately but only taking a couple breaths.
Here's some solid scientific evidence that hypoxic training is just sadism/masochism that Geochuck posted on another thread:
