i have been swimming all my life competitive, triathlon and now masters, over the past few months i have choked whilst swimming, usually fly or brst, on one occasion the lifeguard had to help me...i am not terrified of swimming strokes other than free...i also coach so have changed sessions to suit just free
does anyone else do this or is there an underlying condition
There is a condition, not sure if same as what you describe, that involves a pressure on lung capillaries causing them to work incorrectly. The athelete experiences a huge drop in VO2(max) chokes and sometimes cough's up blood. More common with tri-geeks and OW swimmers. Have to search a little to find the article.
