How to swim 25m underwater (in shorts and top)

[@americanboy7040]

My swimming coach said that if you are relaxed in water, you will never sink! If you are anxious or nervous, the water will not be your good friend!

[@gertleroy]

sinking depends on your buoyancy, and buoyancy does not depend on your level of relaxation.. fire your coach!

[@elftwelve]

​@gertleroy Yeah I sink like a stone no matter what. I have low body fat. But I actually enjoy being able to sit at the bottom of the pool:)

[@myzaelgomes4876]

Isso é verdade. Estou aprendendo a nadar agora, com 26 anos. Por experiência própria, percebo que quando estou calmo e relaxado, não afundo. Mas quando estou nervoso, afundo.

Good luck!

[@mikhail4504]

Try hyperventilating before the swim. Breathe deeply and quickly before swimming. To the point of dizziness.

[@jordiboy109]

​@@mikhail4504 very bad tip, don't do this. If you hyperventilate your body won't make contractions anymore which means you won't feel when you're out of air. You can black out without even realizing it (and drowning because of it)

[@mikhail4504]

@@jordiboy109 Nothing bad will happen. 1. 50 meters is a short distance for diving. 2. The ability to dive 50 meters is determined not only by the respiratory system, but also by swimming technique. You must swim 50 meters underwater in a minimum number of cycles. No more than 15-16. 3. Blackout does not depend on hyperventilation. 4. Someone MUST insure the athlete.

[@jordiboy109]

@@mikhail4504 1. 50 meters is not a short distance for beginners, suggesting hyperventilating to people who have no idea what they're doing is dumb. 2. With bad swimming technique 50 meters becomes even harder, which makes it more unlikely for people to be able to reach it because they will use more oxygen. 3. Blackout doesn't depend on hyperventilation, true, but it stops your body from making contractions, which is your body's way of saying you need to come up for air. There isn't a single freediving school in the world that would suggest hyperventilating before going down, because it's dangerous. You shouldn't misinform people like this, if you even know what you're talking about, which I doubt...

[@tonytech5520]

I was able to hold my breath for the duration of this video. I haven't swum in years. I'm happy to see that I still got it.😊

[@yousefaborashed640]

Swimming closer to the ground of the pool is easier under water .. especially for a distance like 25m

[@mihajlo6489]

Since I started freediving, I realized that if you don't focus on holding your breath and instead look at the beautiful scenery you will hold your breath much longer

[@gertleroy]

exactly 🙏

[@crimsonram6106]

Where I’m swimming, There is always that 1 trace where the sunlight end end on the edge of the dark and light there is a rainbowy line which can keep me occupied enough to not bother with the fact that I’m underwater 😊

Thats good technique to make more difficulty in swimming.

[@msarikah]

This is true.. thank you so much for this. I will get better by this

[@gertleroy]

all the best!

[@msarikah]

@@gertleroy I do have a quick question/story. On Monday, I had an audition where I had to swim 8 laps (31m) then have 3-5min break then one breath hold four times with a mono fin. At that point, at one time I used to be able to go on one breath, 1x, but this time, I didn't know what to do on top of having my heart beating faster, so I did come up for air and then swam on my side the remainder very fast. Each time it was at the halfway point give it take at the 6 ft and then I came up like a whale and then back under and swam on my side. And after that we had to dive down and perform, (this was for a mermaid performance show, this was how I found you), but by then I was getting cold. What should I have done for that ( Aerobic, getting cold, mindset, audition nerves, etc?) Think Navy Seals training! I did land aerobic training and breathing too. Btw, they said my swimming improved exponentially and that they could tell I worked hard and was proud of me, bc this was the second time trying out. So I honestly say your videos among others helped greatly

[@rajeshkumar-zr4kn]

So peaceful..so beautiful..as a weak swimmer..I can relate better

[@MAZE4]

I count the strokes when I swim 25 metres underwater, usually 11 or 12 stokes.

[@user-ei6ff5sg1f]

You're marvellous trainer 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

[@sonyab81]

So what should we do instead? How can we learn to relax and stop fearing water pressure on our chest?

[@gertleroy]

watch all my long format videos 👌

[@saltedskin]

Simply get used to it. Practice step by step in a safe environment. Swimming is a lot about being relaxed. It takes time.

[@FinanceWithSanjay]

True

[@testthepest6259]

Without the fu..ing Shorts she would have done 50m!

[@louisle9162]

And 3 the jorts which restrict flow

[@jimmiemarshall3215]

Yes I had the same issue when I relaxed I was able to complete 25meters and further RELAX

[@dharmendrathacker165]

Yeah 👍👍👍 you are absolutely right Sir.

[@AndersonFassler-jg4zt]

I am in swim team and my best stroke is breaststroke and at the beginning ass part of our underwaters we pull down with both hands like teh girl did in teh video and when you put your hands back up it helps to shrug and brush your hands across your torso

[@GalaxyKnight2005]

What prevents me from going 25 metres underwater: 1- my ears will bleed 2- the sea will push me upwards

[@missmoon77]

I also do😂

[@MrVeryfrost]

What do you mean ears will bleed?

[@tkangwei]

@@MrVeryfrost He is referring to 25 meter of water depth.

[@Victoria08822]

I think this is about swimming a distance of 25m, not swimming 25m deep

[@saltedskin]

(1) close your nose with your fingers and slightly press air into your nose. (2) the air in your lungs will be compressed the deeper you dive until your body's buoyancy is less than it's weight and you will sink. In my case, this is the case at a depth of around 3 m.

Back when I had swimming lessons I was able to swim 1 and 1/4 of a the entire pool not sure how big the pools were though so don’t know if I swam 125 metres or 75 metres

[@rutgerdenhertog5846]

Totally agree! Buttttt, is it better to swim faster underwater or more relaxt (and more slowly) to reach the 25m horizontal? I keep asking myself this question hahaha, hope u can give me an answer 🙏🏻

I can move just fine swimming and diving but when it comes to pool swimming, i have extremely hard times in going up to take breath. That is my biggest weakest in pool swimming.

Lessing nr 1 what’s holding you back from swimming under water is: What you should wear! 💀 😅

[@astaridjatmiko8187]

Should we take out all of the air from our lungs before before we dive in ? Or diving can be done by holding on some air ?

[@gertleroy]

on full lungs you will be able to hold your breath longer, but you'll also be more positively buoyant. meaning will always have to swim in a small angle downwards to not float back up. Which is perfectly doable. If You exhale aitrle bit you'll float back up less, but it'll be more difficult to hold the breath. Please watch my video HOW TO DNf

[@norahr868]

[@HHH-vo6ec]

Do you need to exhale completely(empty lungs) to swim underwater

[@MrZmokker]

you HARDLY CAN BELIVE IT , JUST LIKE MYSELF IN MAY ADVANCED YEARS, BUT... I REMEMBER THAT ONCE IN A LIFE TIME I HAVE swam 75 METERs - similar technocue - under the water. 50 meters olimpic swimmpool and half the back. without breathing - fully underwater. no fins. underwater breast like stroke.

[@freedivemd9366]

Also wearing tight/sleek swimwear will help. The girl in the video has a serious amount of drag from the back of her shorts scooping water.

[@whoknows141]

Yea I try to take a few mins every time to relax before I get in. Side note: I swim in trunks so her shorts seem more realistic to me. Most guys wear trunks when swimming. Which is why is I try to practice a longer breath hold.

Put some weight or exhale some air from your lungs

I can hold breath barely for 30 seconds, without diving. But can swim 50m underwater because i got that goal an i know i will reach it. I guess its much about the thinking.

[@davidms3729]

25m is doable but not much more

[@MrZmokker]

No need to swim UW more than 25 meters. and you do not to be relaxed. the stile - the best one fpr me is when you add a dolfin kik , after the breast stroke feet kik . and you move your hans carefully when taking them back to the glide streamline posision.

[@lviasmith]

I tried to hold my breath with and I was about to die

[@qualitygreenhouseproductsq6943]

So how do you relax ?

[@StephenMorris]

So let’s talk technique… what’s going on with the arms and legs here? Kind of reaching with the arms. The legs are slapping together? It’s hard to see from this angle.

[@gertleroy]

please search for my video GERT LEROY HOW TO DNF

[@jesusgomez2006]

Personally, I have no interest in playing competitions with fish, there are those who can stay submerged more in the water, and there are no ones who reach deeper into the water, each species in its place, the fish in the water and humans on the surface, I am practicing swimming, but I do not plan to compete with any fish 😂

[@sarahtaylor6081]

Swimming in jean shorts???

[@TorpedoBryan13]

So relaxed you don’t notice you’re wearing Jorts

[@snowwhitehair485]

I find it's excessive buoyancy that's the most limiting factor.

[@michellec3100]

This technique of a breaststroke is not good. Too early kick before in torpedo position. Is this technique that would be not optimal under the surface during normal breaststroke not sloppy under water?

[@user-sp3hh5pg7k]

What is that

[@chikabel3282]

her stroke and timing are wrong.. you can even see her moving backwards because she was doing the kick together with her arm stroke.

[@gertleroy]

timing is right. this is freediving (dynamic no fins), not breaststroke swimming

[@chikabel3282]

​​​​@@gertleroyno it is not correct. you can see it at 30s mark. she was moving backward and this is all because of the reason i said above. it's about science not just about strokes i was doing similar mistake for several years until my coach corrected me to improve my glide underwater.

[@gertleroy]

@@chikabel3282 she's not going backwards. it seems she is but that is me (the cameraman) accelerating so it seems she goes backwards. please watch my video HOW TO DNF
