Let me set this up. I’m 62. Good swimmer but not a competitive swimmer. 6 months ago started playing with dry static apnea. Reached a 6 min hold as pb. Now today I decided to do underwater on 1 breath in Olympic length pool.
For weeks now since no access to a pool I’ve done walking apnea. Managed a 2 min walk but that’s the limit. Most 1:05 with 20 sec recovery X 8.
Now today I did a 25 meter swim on first attempt. After some warming up managed with much difficulty a 50 meter swim on 1 breath. Pleased. It was the limit. I had a spotter. It took 1:06.
Now to improve I’d love some opinions on what’s next. Goal. 100 meters which seems impossible at the moment.
