I just picked my daughter up from school and started talking to one of the other parents who works there. He gave me a little more background on what happened last year.
I guess the coach pushed all of the 8 year olds to go as far as the could underwater, without direct supervison, and the promise of a candy bar to the kid that could go the furthest.:head I heard from another guard who works there that the blackout was pretty ugly and caught everyone off guard.
I've done other types of training in the past (bogdats, over/under laps, count down laps, surface swimming apnea, no-fins, pyramid sets while swimming) and may just have to go back to them. I know they worked to help my underwater hockey game, which I no longer play due to a neck injury, but am not sure how effective they would be for FRC training.
At the momoent I'm thinking of ditching the pool in favor of apnea hiking up the hill in my backyard.
