Re: Under Water Confidence Training

Here is one trick:
- If you learn to pack your lungs, with time (and careful, gradual progression), you can pack enough air that your chin will remain above the surface of the water, even WITHOUT doing ANY kicking or treading water. In that position, you can relax, wait for the urge to breathe, then exhale rapidly, (and if your hands and legs are tied), do a dramatic dolphin kick as you suck another breath, lean on your back, keep packing your lungs. You should get by with about one breath every 45 seconds. Of course if you are flexible and can pull your tied hands below your ankles and get your tied hands in front of you, then you can motor through the water with a dolphin kick.

With help from people on the forums, you should breeze through all those tasks like a joke.

Your ability to gauge your success will largely depend on how you perceive it. You can shape it, set it up, feel it, and define it. Allow competition to turn inward. Do not depend on awards, money, or other validations." -Jonny Moseley
