How far can you go underwater without a breath?

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.

  • Redford was only an actor... Regardless of how you do, don't get either discouraged or overly encouraged. You have great enthusiasm for swimming and that's something you should try to cultivate into a lifetime of enjoyment. Anyway, sorry for hijacking the thread! Back to our regularly scheduled programing: Don't try to find out how far you can go underwater. It's bad stuff!
