If you want to hold your breath for longer while swimming, there is no other way but to practice it in the pool while you’re swimming. Before we begin, i want to warn you about the dangers of this practice. They recommend the following tips to prevent SWB.

Never hyperventilate.
Never ignore the urge to breathe
Never swim alone.
Never play breath-holding games

This is a fun exercise. We did 4 X 50s, the first one we did with 4 breathes total in the 50. The next one 3, then 2 and the last one with 1. Depending on your ability, you can do this 4,3,2,1 or with more breathes like say 7,6,5,4. The key here is to time your breaths strategically.

This is a good tactic for doing a 50 in competition too. If you can do this slowly, it is also good to take only one breath during competition to not waste time breathing at full speed.

The next exercise is 4 x 25s. I took two breathes for each 25. The interesting part though is to control your breathing during the rest. I rested for only 3 breaths. After the third breath I went on to do the next 25 with only two breathes. If you are not there yet. You can try a variation of this with more breaths. Something like 4 breaths for each 25 and 5 or 6 breaths while resting. These exercises will train you to feel more comfortable with the urge to breathe. While this is good for training it can also be dangerous for your health. Shallow water blackout is most common among physically fit swimmers, spear fishermen and free divers.

Let me know in the comments bellow if there are anything else you would like me to explain or make a tutorial about.
