How to do a 50 meter underwater swim (Olympic pool dynamic apnea)

  • Here are my top tips on how you can do a 50 meter dynamic apnea swim. 50 meters is the length of an Olympic pool.
    This is also the length needed to swim under water to pass the entry tests of the Navy seals.
    When training underwater you should always have a buddy to rescue you if you get a blackout. Never train alone

    Made my 50 meter swim, touched the edge then went into a blackout. Proud of myself for pushing my mind past the urge to breathe, but I’ll admit I gave into the panic near the end and began to swim faster. I burned a lot of oxygen doing that and is probably why I blacked out. Thanks for the info. (Of course, I had a buddy there for the swim. Always be safe)

      @@BryanApperson So I reached the pool edge, surfaced, and got in a gasping breath or two. I was seeing stars and then next thing I remember was waking up in my buddy's arms. I was told everything happened super quick though, everything simultaneously. I guess after that breath, I let go of the pool edge and started sinking down, bubbles coming out of my mouth.

    This video is excellent in its recommendations/instructions/advise.
    Very clear and easy to understand with a bit of wit 👍🏼😄
    I just accomplished maybe 2 weeks a ago 20 m underwater with one breath and my goal is 50. This video is perfect timing.
    With recent surgery a few days ago , I am restricted from the water for 6 weeks so I’m home getting guidance from UA-cam and low and behold this video pops up for me!!
    Because of you, I now know what I can do differently once I get to start practicing again.
    I’m excited and motivated!
    Thank you so much 👍🏼

    I managed to do this for the first time yesterday in a 25 meter pool. The need to relax after each armpull can't be understated. In my experience, if you're having to do five armpulls for 25 meters, that's one too many. Likely my greatest swimming feat in my life when I thought I'm no longer the swimmer I was as a teenager xD

      @YuukioFitness9784 9 місяців тому +1

      @@nathanlieu6840 If 25 meters is comfortable for you, 50 should be within reach. The way I did it was working up to it progressively, starting from just turning at the other end for each set, then add the double arm pull, and then another, until I could do a set of 50 meters. It just takes practice and conditioning.

  • @danisrusski6297
    @danisrusski6297 6 років тому +15

    For the trained swimmers here. If you want to practice no breath freestyle (or butterfly for the suicidal) do 10x50m/yards. First 50 is 9 breaths. Next is 8. Then all the way down to none. I have done this twice, and holy shit it sucks. It is a great feeling having completed it and knowing that it will be another year until next time.

    Christian! It worked! It worked!! This video got me through my 50 meter underwater swim as part of my SCUBA test! I watched this like 8 or 9 times the night before. When my turn came, I did exactly what I learned on THIS video! As I was approaching the end, that out of breath feeling began to creep in. I kept hearing your voice, do not be lured by the out of breath feeling. I just kept telling myself that I had enough air, and this was a natural reaction! I DID IT!

    Diving physics states that the deeper you go the larger ratio of 02 to C02 in your lungs, meaning you'll go farther before you need to breathe, also the weight of the water will keep you down, making it easier to glide.

    A couple tips are skin tight shorts and small goggles and swim cap to reduce drag. Also body undulations combined with the full strokes to hang onto momentum without burning up too much oxygen.

  • @SamFisher007
    @SamFisher007 7 років тому +373

    You don't use more oxygen the deeper you go, totally false. The deeper you go, the more the water pressure compresses your lungs, creating a higher O2 to CO ratio and therefore increasing one's breath. That comes straight from SEAL training.

    • @notajuan2420
      @notajuan2420 7 років тому +40

      When you dive down the volume of air in your lungs decreases and pressurises the air. That pressure pushes more oxygen into your bloodstream and your cells use it faster as it is more available. On the way up, the pressure in your lungs is far less and your body gets less oxygen from it. This is part of the reason that shallow water blackouts occur so much...
      This came from my human structure and function unit...

    One of these days, I have got to bring a tape measure. I know it's pretty large, but the local quarry has no information on exactly how big it is (width or length), but I know I can swim all the way across the width, and about 3/4 of the way across the length. Usually I'm stuck in tiny backyard pools, so they're rarely larger than 12 feet (3.6 meters) in length. Turning takes up too much energy so I can't really say for sure, but I've been swimming since before I could walk so that could be the reason I can get so far at the quarry.

    Hi sir , My coach told me that to take breath in 2 seconds and breathe out 4 seconds or deep breath in and breathe out for twice is forbidden.
    It can be cause hyperventilate condition. Is it true?

    I'm a swimmer, not a diver - so please take this as a sincere question and not a criticism - why do you hold your ankles in a 90-degree position like that? You'd have less drag and glide more if you point your toes. Is there a reason you use this position for long distance underwater? Again, sincere question here. :)

    I was actually able to swim 25 meters submerged but i was trying to go as fast as I can.
    But now i will use this method and try doing a 50. Wish me luck!
