step 1: don’t smoke

[@gertleroy]

good one 😁

[@nathannguyen2488]

I vaped once and I regret it

[@gertleroy]

@@nathannguyen2488 same here. vaping is like burning your lungs

[@deejay2lit238]

I smoke and can still swim better and longer than a person who doesn’t but I also exercise my lungs and keep my smoking to a minimum but I can hold my breath for 2:50

[@Katiebo008]

Relatable😭

[@alliecatplayz]

Another tip: Actually just practice above water. Plug your nose and hold your breath as long as you can then try just sitting underwater a few seconds until you need to breath

[@gertleroy]

progress gradually towards water yes 🙏

[@3llo0]

For some reason when im not holding my breath I sink but when I do hold my breath, I just go back to the surface and I try to swim back to the bottom, but it just pulls me up to the top😢

[@alliecatplayz]

@@3llo0 aw :(

[@trystab]

@@3llo0the process of holding your breath is just storing air in your lungs. While you’re in the water, the air stored in your longs will make you float back up, which also explains why you can sink when you are not holding your breath.

[@gertleroy]

💥💥 ATTENTION: I made a mistake in this video in regards to the final deep breath. You should first breathe into the belly, then into the chest. Not the other way around. Sorry for the confusion. ✌️✌️

[@sailingnoctiluca-alightats9089]

I think a few errors and omissions? What about a buddy who knows about blow tap talk. That would be tip 1 from me. Using weight is not how I have been taught static as AIDA coach? Better to be on the surface floating with a buddy who helps make sure you don’t have LMC / BO and knows about blow tap talk etc. Signals? Communication?

[@fishing4dinner]

Great tips. I’ve certainly watched enough Gert Leroy to know what you meant. Keep rocking

[@gertleroy]

[@gertleroy]

@@sailingnoctiluca-alightats9089 always dive or breath hold with a buddy! Yes you are right about that. Besides the typical static method taught in courses there are off course another million ways to hold your breath in a pool. This is one if them. 🙏

I learned when surfacing again to breath, don't breath out fully, take a breath and hold it for 2 seconds and repeat this 2 times

You want to breathe out fully first to get rid of the co2

How does one take a deep breath “in the chest and belly”?

[@gertleroy]

first belly then chest. I probably said it wrong 🙏

[@ntartienii]

You usually suggest starting breathing from the belly then the chest, why in this case you reversed it?

[@gertleroy]

Oh damn I didn't even hear myself saying that. You're right first belly than chest! 😶

[@ntartienii]

Imagine waking up in a paramedic truck after being pronounced dead for 3mins after being super chill in your pool.

[@eddiej9270]

On land I can hold about 2m and 45s. But under water, I only go 35 seconds so far. i’m not an expert but I might have something to do with my nervous system, even though I know I’m not in danger, but my brain ignores that and my heart beats faster. Or other things, but the difference between 2m and 45s and 35s is absurd.

Doesn't hyperventilating yourself before also work?

never hyperventilate in the water or before going in the water. Blackouts happen faster when you hyperventilate

How long can you hold your breath for

[@gertleroy]

it doesn't matter. it's not about time. it's about the benefits of breath holding and what you learn in the process. If you really wanna know go to my Instagram bio

[@nolastnamexd]

Do you throw air bubbles out with nose or mouth?

[@gertleroy]

it's just air escaping from the mask. I do not exhale

[@nfragala]

*Belly, intercostals, chest, then pack.

[@DANT-E]

Clock is sped up, but you're moving nornal speed, lol

[@dollphinwing]

Now hold for 2 minutes while swimming

[@rackpit]

Tip #1 NEVER do it alone in the water! Only ever with a trained partners. Static apnea can be very dangerous and if done wrong, even deadly. At Competitions, nobody uses weights and nobody uses masks. If you‘re interested, please contact a diving instructor who specializes in freediving. Don‘t trust random information on the internet. I‘m sure this guy means well but this information right here is very dangerous.

[@gertleroy]

this is not a competition. it's just a breathhold at the bottom of a pool. there is freediving scenarios, and there is other scenarios like this one. please read my bio so you know my background. thanks

Think about happy place -me oh heaven (he gonna die iant he)

[@2Savannah]

What if Someone never had a happy life. 2. I would forget to come up if I’m in my happy time

[@user-sl1pq9xv5l]

Neck weight is the worst idea ever!! I recommend not using it and using waist weights!!

[@gertleroy]

it depends for what purpose. for static breathholding just messing around in a pool it doesn't offer added value over a conventional weight belt. however for other disciplines like advanced deep diving it offers value because of the point of gravity being shifted towards your head which makes you go down in a straight line, like an arrow. even for video sessions in a pool doing fun stuff I'd prefer a neck weight because the most buoyant part of your body on full lungs is your torso, and the heaviest are your legs.

[@underrated0806]

weights because u float up automatically if u take deep breath right?

[@gertleroy]

correct.
