We were goofing around after practice the other day and decided to see who could swim the farthest underwater. We both went well over 50 meters (the underwater turn was a killer). I opted for dolphin kicking a ways and then switched to the underwater breastroke. I’m not sure which technique is better for distance as opposed to speed. Anyone out there ever make a full 100m underwater? Oh yeah, this can be dangerous because a lot of people pass out. So if you make an attempt, be sure someone is on deck watching you. Perhaps some of you dorks could even put on your competitions suits and monofins and see if it improves your performance. You guys kill me with all your equipment.
Yes.... I have been 100 meters and 100 yards. Yards is difficult cuz of the turns, but meters was really tough. Best way to do it was look at the bottom and stay relaxed, don't think about how far you have to go. I did big breaststroke pullouts with a slow dolphin glide... then repeat.
Was way more purple after the 100 meters.
Can still go 75 yards under water. Will not try to ever go further, due to the "blue" factor..... scary.
