In 3 feet of water in a crowded swimming pool? This is bizzare. You’d think once you reached a certain point you’d simply stand up and take a breath.

You’d think once you reached a certain point you’d simply stand up and take a breath.

They probably super saturated with oxygen using deep breathing techniques prior to this contest.

That subjects you to what is known as shallow water blackout which comes on suddenly with no warning.

I used to do the same thing when I was young and ignorant.

I was amazed, though, at how long I could hold my breath.

sounds like a horror movie where suddenly the surface of the water from underneath is suddenly solid and can’t be penetrated.
