If this was helpful, be sure to watch Andrew explain the time he needed to be rescued kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKKmY3ehgduUpLM

[@foxidized692]

I just came from Daily Dose of Internet video, where was only a fragment with rescuing you, and for me it looked like scary situation and very dangerous. I'm happy to see full video and explanation and also see, that there were people to help immediately

[@androopr]

Glad you found us for the full explqination! We want to highlight the importance to everyone with this video of diving with people trained in freediving rescue procedures :) Lilly learned a lot from this and hasn't had another incident in the past 3 years of diving even further distances 🥰

@@peregrinefalcon9513 So when you listen to your body and you start to feel pressure on your lungs and return to the surface, do you always avoid black out 100 %?

[@honeyswann]

Even when Lily smiled after blacking out, her smile was so bright and beautiful . Much love and I’m glad these safety protocols are being shown!

[@androopr]

Thank youuu so much! I was embarrassed that I had a blackout but very grateful for the safety team doing a great job! 🥰🥰🥰

[@androopr]

Listen carefully as Lilly explains the mistakes leading up to her first (and only) blackout from 3 years ago so you can avoid them in your diving.

[@zollo911]

This is definitely one of those things that scares the HELL out of me. It's something with not being able to breathe that scares me in free diving, or any sort of water sport.

[@androopr]

Maybe scuba is for you - it's a lotta fun too!

[@Alex_Anders]

Thats a long distance underwater! Smiling after blackout aswell. Good suport by your team there. Quick respons👌

[@androopr]

Thank you! I am embarrassed a bit by the video, but think it is important to show how important it is to dive with people trained to rescue a freediving blackout. And wanted to share the mistakes I made to help others avoid them 🙂

[@Alex_Anders]

@@androopr I thinks this is very good content. Because it shows what many freedivers know can happen (when pushing the limit etc) And how to react to black out. As long as you have buddie(s) to watch you. Great video. Thanks for sharing😊

[@androopr]

Absolutely! I really appreciate your feedback :) I think we will share Andrew’s massive LMC from 4 years ago of his first mini-competition. We dug up the footage and will probably share in a few weeks too for the same reasons.

[@Safiyahalishah]

Wow I got chills seeing Lilly blackout with her eyes open. It looked... well, it looked a lot worse than it was. I would be a lot less calm than the safety divers if something like that happened in front of me! I'm really glad to hear she was fine and has never gone through that experience again.

[@androopr]

For sure! We never aim to blackout but when mistakes are made they can happen. With a properly trained team the diver will come to from a blackout quickly and experience no ill effects except for potentially a short term headache and a lot of embarrassment 🙂

[@AngryMonk60]

Oh man, I use to do as many under water laps by myself across a pool, until I ran out of breath. Not doing that anymore lol

[@androopr]

Glad to hear you learned something 🙂without someone around who can rescue you it could be deadly so make sure you have someone with you who is trained 🥰I appreciate you sharing that!

[@Lyle_Plays]

Phewww I'm relieved! I'm glad there was a lot of people readily available to help you and that you're fine ☺️ that looked scary...

[@androopr]

For sure! We wanted to share this video so that everyone can realize how much trouble could happen without people there who knew what to do, even though the video is embarassing 🥰

[@BK-201]

amazing what people can do, but so scary :D I almost died as a child during a storm at sea. fear of water did not appear, but being under water for a long time is not very comfortable, and my maximum is about 1 minute. but it's really amazing what training can achieve , hope all your dives will be successful 👍

[@androopr]

Thank you so much! After swimming regularly for a few months I started to scuba dive, and after a few months of doing that regularly I tried freediving for the first time! Swimming and scuba helped me lose my fear from the water and then I completely fell in love with being underwater! Thank you so much for the kind words

[@androopr]

Thank you for your kind words, I'm happy to hear you feel it's a helpful video too 😊

[@PichDextro]

I'm very interested in medical stuff, so I hope this doesn't sound cruel. It's super interesting and very fascinating to me how fast you lost colour in the face and how pale your eyes were after coming back. Really shows what's going on in the body and how certain mechanics immediately stop. Your eyes looked very disoriented. I only blacked out once in my life so far and it sure is a mean feeling. It's scary but super fascinating. To make this a bit less creepy though: I'm very glad you're ok and nothing happened. It is absolutely impressive how far you made it and how long you held your breath.

[@androopr]

Very good comment and observations - I was very confused right after coming too and then realized after a few seconds and felt so embarassed! The blackout is the body's amazing protective mechanism to conserve remaining O2 to support the brain and vitals from damage. When muscles and consiouness are shut down then it buys time for safety team to rescue, but if this process is delayed significantly then major problems coming back will occur! Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment and I didn't take it as creepy at all!

[@grunner30]

Thank you for your excellent explanation of your experience. I grew up doing lots of snorkeling and probably pushed myself way to far many times. Now that I'm older and wanting to start free diving and spearfishing, knowing about the blackout, I'm wanting to go about this new experience safely and your video and dialogue is outstanding. Glad you were safe during your blackout.

[@dclong-]

imagine had no one been there. we watched this woman dance on the rim of death, twirling until the divers helped her pick a side. this is as terrifying as it is informative.

Thank you for sharing your experience Yesterday I also blacked out during a local freediving competition. The symptoms were very similar to what you described. I watched your video earlier and your explanations poped up in mind during my attempt. But still I was thinking that I'm doing fine)) Thanks to our wonderful rescue team, I'm fine and going to learn from that.

[@AliothAncalagon]

I know the memory gap issues from martial arts, when you choke someone out. When the brain shuts down it doesn't shut down everything at once. First off, colour fades. Then you get tunnel vision as a black curtain closes in from your peripheral vision. Then your short time memory shuts down. And another second later you are out. In self defense this is also an actual problem, since an attacker who has literally been choked unconscious often doesn't grasp that he was already out cold.

[@vashisl33t]

That is amazing you didnt even know how to swim and then you learn and start freediving!

[@kenitopaul6652]

Damnn glad you’re okay. I had this experience once when me and my friends spin ourselves till we get dizzy then we get pushed to the pool. I went first and I almost drowned and no one helped me because they thought I was faking it because I am an excellent swimmer. Kinda traumatizing lol

[@androopr]

Wow! That's quite the game haha. No doubt that would have been traumatizing - how long till they realized something was wrong?

[@kenitopaul6652]

@@androopr I was drowning for like a minute 💀💀 Luckily I was able to hold out. Usually I can last 2 minutes submerged but I was panicking like a headless chicken 😂 They never believed me till they tried which was funny 😂😂

[@lgmgold]

Wow, I'm impressed. I enjoy apnea swimming. Completing laps is very satisfaying. That kinda makes me scared but also it makes me want to find actual training to prevent it from happening.

[@anthonybawia99]

I came from the TikTok. Wanted to see the full story. Thank you!

[@androopr]

Really glad you found it :) hope you learned something from Lilly's examination of what went wrong!

[@lieutenantflyboy]

This same thing happened to me a year ago, except it was at the bottom of a 15ft deep pool. I purged myself of CO2 and did back and forth laps at the bottom of the pool. Then I woke up in the hospital. Doctors told me that after passing out, the lack of air triggered a seizure which I was experiencing even after the lifeguards pulled me out and I arrived at the hospital. Because the lifeguards were so used to seeing me hold my breath, it wasn’t until after 5 minutes lying at the bottom that they realized I was asleep.

[@androopr]

Wow that's nuts! 5 mins blacked out is no joke, and really glad you are still alive. There are a few world champion freedivers who have passed away in the same manner - lifeguards didn't think much of it because they're so used to seeing them under forever. Lifeguards aren't trained enough on freediving blackouts but here in Canada it's getting better

[@androopr]

Really appreciate you sharing with everyone 🤙

[@lieutenantflyboy]

[@onbliss]

thank you for sharing.

[@androopr]

You are welcome 🙂🥰

[@Dannysoutherner]

That is spooky. I have seen other swimmers black out like this. Their training at not breathing is so intense they will, as seen, literally swim until they drown given a chance. The average person, like me, can go only so far before we lose our air and come up without ever being truly low on oxygen. It is how we are wired and how our software works. Training to get good at something is great. Training to the level of suicide takes a different mindset. It is good they have safety people nearby.

[@RAMA-gu8cs]

Black out is scary but once you experience it and THANK GOD survive its kinda cool experience isn't it

[@androopr]

It was scary seeing it the first time, but it is interesting seeing how quick the recovery is with proper rescue procedures, and very interesting experience :D

[@supmikey123]

Why is it taboo to show blackouts? i think they are very educational to watch and look at multiple times. And even better when you get the diver as the narrating the video

[@Badtiming808]

Since you blacked out during the competition does that disqualify you? I mean I think you did an amazing job and surpassed what u were reaching for.

[@androopr]

Great question! Competition rules disqualify your performance if you have a blackout. Even though I went farther than I was planning it doesn't count, which is a good rule though so that it promotes safe diving 😊

[@Badtiming808]

I'm so sorry but I'm glad it promotes safe diving. You were a winner that day

[@AkilezNewEngland]

I never blackout but drowning is another story for me

[@Ross-ts2kk]

Can someone tell me how to prevent blackout and what causes blackout

[@androopr]

Good question, the answer is too long to be able to properly type here, but to briefly summarize: Cause- When we hold our breath underwater our oxygen levels slowly deplete to a point where it is too low to sustain consciousness. The blackout is our bodies' protective measure to prevent damage to our vitals, as it preserves the little remaining oxygen to protect the brain and vital organs. Prevent - by training and progressing in slow increments, and learning to recognize the warning signs (tunnel vision, fuzzy thoughts, warm feelings, feel like you can go forever, etc)

Your very welcome, glad to hear it was helpful! Uncomfortable feelings usually start long before you actually are too low on oxygen - but either way don't freedive alone anymore because we can misjudged our bodies from time to time and that would be deadly alone :(
