milky4130 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Where are you planning on doing this? I've also considered this but not sure of its benefits although there have been studies done to prove its benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted April 23, 2014 Share Yes, it assists.Sports science says so. But it's a weird kinda exercise.I try it in the gym swimming pool whenever I can. Edited April 23, 2014 by ' Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_stig Posted April 23, 2014 Share I've heard of a swim technique called hypoxic breathing. Basically, you swim lengths in the pool and increase the amount of strokes before taking a breath. ie. breath on 1,3,5,7. Not sure if that's strictly hypoxic, but a swim coach I once met reckons it's a good way to train.
