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.

  • Nobreath swims can improve 50 fr time, it is stated such training should be done with a spotter. I always ask someone to watch before attempting 50m nb, just in case. During a 50 fr event if you pass out before touching the pad, it is almost impossible not to be noticed within seconds. The topic of underwater swims for distance is different. It doesn’t seem to fall under this thread discussion category
