I've watched a lot of swimmers in elite competition in for instance 1500m who breathe every stroke. However when I swim distance I still have to use bilateral breathing. I've tried breathing every stroke like they do, but I find myself getting light headed. What's the best way to learn to control your breathing to do long distance well? Thanks,
David
This is true and it's been documented this way.
How do they measure/document oxygen consumption during swimming? I make these measurements in kids in my pulmonary function lab who are on the treadmill or bike, I can't conceive of a system to do this reliably in the water, either O2 consumption or oxygen saturation. I would love to know how to do this (or who to contact to learn more).
