Practice holding your breath, it would seem, is a highly specialized thing that people need, swimming, snorkeling, surfing, etc., and the common man is not particularly useful. However, those who sank under the ice with equipment or dive for a drowning man, his opinion changed. You survivalist, or tourists, who knows what might happen? And just to know what I was capable your body is sometimes useful.

Basically, if you learn to swim freely under water 20 meters on one breath, this will already be enough.

Of course, the ability to hold your breath will not be limited to just to sit under the water and sit there for a while. You need to clearly realize that there may be situations when you will find yourself under water sharply and suddenly, in a stressful situation. You may not have time safely ventilate the lungs before diving and breathe deeply. You can cling to the water for something or even be in the car. Plus, from the breath may lose consciousness, and the water is tantamount to the death, as opposed to the land. Incorrect assessment of the time or the situation could end badly.

But, more to the point.

Training can be divided into two types: the calm and the load. Thus trapped different types of possible situations where you just swim under water, catch crayfish, for example, or in the car fell into the water ... ... winter night ...

Training with load

Combining exercise with exercise breath. Takes an ordinary bike and spread. There are two ways of training. First, you hold your breath, pedal and note the time that you can sustain. Second, you are pre-measured out the distance, which you have to ride on a single breath. Workouts are similar, will differ a little intensity.

Another way to the edge of the pool doing push-ups, and then abruptly dive into the water and measures the time. Alternatively, push-ups, and then abruptly stand up and run holding his breath, too, note the time.

Attention! load the workout is only if you allow the physical condition and health, and only under the supervision of at least one person in order to avoid serious problems.

No load training

Everything is simple. We are interested only time. Relax, ventilate the lungs and slowly submerged. All. Stand or sit as you are comfortable. Note the time.

It can be a little more difficult for beginners is a good start will be. Takes a small load, and calmly go in the water and on the bottom of the pool pass slowly from one end to the other.

As you can see, nothing complicated in the delay training there is no breathing, you do not need some special equipment or complex studies. It is even possible to dive in the bathroom at home, or if the pool is not near the river. Who knows where life will need this skill? The child falls into the water, someone fell through the ice ... whatever. Better to spend a little time on training than to spend a lot of time mourning the consequences of your lack of training, especially if you have a couple of meters underground bury.
