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.
I have always looked at hypoxic sets as ways to simulate races, in that I'm hurting during a race. And if you do hypoxic sets that push or challenge you then you should be hurting a bit. Seems to make me tougher in my races.
