I have a new ( young ) coach. He includes breath control sets. Does any one else think this could be dangerous for older (56 years old) swimmers? My MD thought it was crazy. I have noticed quite a few Masters swimmers dying from strokes. An old coach of mine said USA Swimming had banned hypoxic training for kids for a while.

A lot of swimmers die from strokes in the pool? Where the hell are the life guards??
No disrespect for people who have had strokes. (I've had three myself) but, the statement that "a lot of swimmers die from strokes" begs the question: Which of the four —FINA-recognized— strokes are we talking about here? Two of these would probably kill me.
