How To Swim Longer Distance Underwater Today

This is how to instantly be able to swim a longer distance underwater. What I'm going to explain you can apply right away and you will probably be able to swim pretty much double the distance you can swim normally. And it has nothing to do with your swimming technique. So this will work just as well for a professional swimmer as it will do for someone like Lenka you see in the video who is not a professional swimmer. In the first clip here she just started swimming and in the second clip she applied what I'm going to explain now. But before I tell you exactly what to do it is important that you never try to swim underwater while holding your breath when you are alone. Every year people drown and die in pools around the world because they try to hold their breath underwater when they are alone. Always have someone who can help you and rescue you if you get in trouble. So let's get into it. There's three things you can do to swim a further distance underwater. Number one. Spend two minutes breathing before you start swimming. Breathe in for four seconds. Out for eight seconds. Then after two minutes of breathing take three deep breaths. Fill your lungs and start swimming. This is what Lenka did before she started swimming in the second clip you see here. And it made a big difference. Number two. If you want an even bigger improvement you can breathe two minutes like I explained. Then hold your breath while laying still in the water as long as you can without pushing too hard. And repeat this four times. Then breathe two minutes. Take three deep breaths. And start swimming. Without preparation I will be able to swim around 40 to 50 meters underwater. And with just implementing one round of two minutes of breathing I will be able to swim 70 to 80 meters. And with four warm-up rounds I will be able to swim between 100 and 130 meters underwater. The third tip to increase the length you can swim underwater is do not eat right before. If you wait six to eight hours between eating and doing your breath hold whether it is laying still or swimming you will see a big difference. Personally I increase my static breath hold with three to four minutes just by waiting eight hours compared to holding the breath right away after a meal. A static breath hold is laying still while holding your breath. I hope you found this video helpful and subscribe for more videos like this. Have a nice day.
