You’d be surprised how this jolts you out of sleepiness! I first saw a guy doing a lap underwater and he told me how sleepy he was and so I tried it - this was military life which includes serious sleep deprivation. I thought it would be hard when sleepy but swimming is one of those exercises that you can do intensely when sleepy - maybe the water temperature and/or a fear of drowning. Swimming underwater even more so! I found I could do this also and trained to hold my breath underwater - I got up tp 3 minutes... It DEFINITELY wakes you up! Any time I have to fight sleepiness I hold my breath, knowing how long I can go, and when my lungs are bursting (as long as I can handle after I’m at the point of going spastic!), I let it go to a brand new morning in my brain!

I think you should work hard to become very strong on land so you can use what I call "soft power" underwater. (Using lots of power with bad technique is exhausting) Soft power doesn't make your muscles work too hard yet you generate lots of propulsion. My PB is 150m DNF. The last 50m I did 2.5 strokes, instead of 2 when my muscles were getting fatigued which is what you'd expect. You have to experiment to see what works for you :)

I also have a question for you.... You think that it's better to practise in a 25m pool instead of 50? Because in my opinion kicking the wall gives you the advantage of reaching out longer distance than in a 50 m pool.... Also u think it's better if the depth is around your neck level?

Hi :) Thank you for your comments :)) I think it's easier to practice in 25m pool, much harder in 50m as you're losing the push off the wall (which saves a lot of time and O2.) In regards to your second question - when you dive deeper you're not losing 'energy' but volume of air in your lungs reduces (in halves in 10m). I find it easier to train in deeper pools - around 2m as I can wear less weight (around the neck is much more efficient) but sometimes I have to practice in very shallow pools. There is no right or wrong way as something is always better than nothing. When holding your breath in any pool, make sure you have someone actively watching you at all times (lifeguards don't count). Dive safe, & dive free, Michaela

I am amazed this is possible. I always panic on the first time going back. Your a great swimmer!

This is perfection ❤🎉

Lots of whales in the water, glad you didn’t have a collision

That was amazing. That takes a lot of training.
