> but for an entire summer I practiced 50m underwater swims (not recommended)
A couple years after I graduated, I attended a funeral for a classmate who had been training to possibly try out for the Navy Seals. He had been practicing an underwater swim in the university pool (25m) with no life guard present, no one around. They found him the next morning.
Please do not do underwater swims without someone around.

- olalonde 16y agoWhat's wrong with that? What exactly happened to the guy? I'm asking genuinely because I've done my share of unsupervised underwater swimming and never felt my life was at stake.
- khafra 16y agoIf you go deep enough, shallow-water blackout can happen on the way back up. I don't know what could go wrong just doing laps a few feet below the surface, though, unless he simply stayed under until he passed out.
