Later in the story they say "The world record for a person holding their breath under water while static is 10 minutes 12 seconds. "

I was told once that the deeper a person goes, the less buoyant your body is. Just wondering if anyone knows if this is true.
She is no Tanya Streeter,
I respect this woman’s accomplishments, but I’d be leery of promoting this “sport.” It’s pretty suicidal. If you are a competitive swimmer or a shot putter, you are easily rescued if you have an issue. In this activity, obviously, you’re a goner.
Sounds like it would cause some brain damage. Probably enough to make a person think it makes sense to continue doing this over and over again, for ever-longer periods and at ever-greater depths.
Good Lord. 314 feet...I’ve been to about 130 in full gear. This woman is nuts, but more power to her.
Wasn’t there a woman who died doing this a few months ago?
Wow, that is impressive. It’s amazing that they don’t take a small emergency tank of O2. I can’t sit here in my house and hold my breath that long.
Deepest I ever swam was about 40 feet deep. Did it off the coast of Florida. I was 15 and not smart enough to know better. I did note, however, as I got deeper I certainly seemed less buoyant. I don’t know if it was real, or it was just a perception of the water pressure at that depth.
