So in the training I do which is Stew Smith's SEAL training I' required to do a pyrimid called Hypoxic swimming which consists of:
100m-breathe every 2strokes
15sec interval
100m-breathe every 4 strokes
15sec interval
100m-breathe every 6 strokes...etc...up to 12 strokes then back down to 2.
To me this is impossible. I get up to 6 but even letting the air out slowly or stroking faster doesn't help. I've done it as relaxed as possible but then after about 25m I can't do it, I swim good to now so Idk what the problem is. I tried doing the 8 stroke on the way up and gave up cause I kept swallowing water. And since I swim alone which in the book it says in caps to not do this workout alone in caps lol but I have to since everyone is either working or in school. But I gave up on the way up on the 8stroke and just ended up sprinting 250m and then sprinting 3x50m and called it a day. This workout is suppose to help me be able to hold my breathe longer fo underwater swims but its really hard. Any help? Tips? Anything?
