[@mrcuboid]

She’s fainted twice. She may need to diagnose that for a possible underlying problem

[@darknaveed]

Yeah, I would stop swimming if I fainted twice. Absolutely not worth the risk

[@ambi_yam]

I would assume it was due to hypoxia. Maybe an underdeveloped or poor technique is the real cause, as it's fairly easy to develop hypoxia when not gaining enough oxygen during routines.

[@alanduncan1980]

The coach was watching what was going on because that's what coaches tend to do. She jumped in to help when it was blatantly obvious that the swimmer needed help. I think you embellish the story a little bit to make the coach seem like some kind of extraordinary human being, when she just did what anyone would have done.

In high school I be that I could swim the width of our high school pool underwater on one breath. At 4 3/4 I passed out and floated to the surface where my teammates pulled me out. When you force yourself you CAN put yourself in a situation where you override your bodies natural needs/reflexes. I was lucky, I was within arms length of the side. This girl had a great coach who recognized the situation and jumped in. Fortunately the swimmer's body reflex did not attempt to breath in after passing out.

[@theone3243]

She was unconscious, so not panicking and inhaling water. You have something called a diving reflex, when your face hits cold water, your body reduces demands and moves blood to vital organs, this slows down the heart rate and your heart and brain will consume way less oxygen and preserve the rest. She could’ve lasted under there for a minute because she’s a swimmer and probably has a strong diving reflex. Also why you should be grateful and take care of your avatar! Yes avatar not body. Look up with avatar means, you have a special system within you, amazing.
