How far can you swim under water with one breathe?

*breath

That's pretty good. I can't take any breaths underwater.

HBU?

I've done 75 yards back in my tri days pretty easily. You have to push yourself if you want to improve. When your chest feels like it's about to collapse, fight through it, and you'll get a "second wind" feeling.

I did 100yds when I was younger and then blacked out as I came up and grabbed the gutter. I remember my vision closing down to a tunnel as I got close to the edge, and then remember the lifeguard asking me if everything was all right. It is a bad idea to try unless you are closely supervised when you try it.

100 meters - dolphin kicking the whole way.

I am an avid swimmer for my crosstraining of running to spare the legs and still do some conditioning and for some change especially in the winter.

I never tried longer then 25 meter i am sure i can go longer but that is one contest i hate to participate.

I rather love to time my 200 free a couple of times a year.

I can go 50 yards. My son can go EXACTLY 85 yards at the age of 15. I know, he blacked out and sank, turned blue, and got yanked out of the pool. His idiot HS coach dared him to go 100 yards without breathing.

The good thing about fainting is that you don't 'gasp' for water when you sink. So, nothing gets in your lungs.

Luckily (for me) the coach and 3-4 kids were walking beside him when they pulled the stunt. THey got him out fairly quickly and he began breathing on his own.

I'm a business manager (including risk manager) for a school district with about 13,000 kids. If your statement is factual, your coach would have been gone (as coach) within two days with an expedited Weingarten hearing.If he wasn't, then I would question your administrators in open session of your Board of Education meeting why not.

Yeah man, screw that. You should be hopping mad

Four lengths of my pool. Suck it

About 40 meters, maybe 50 if I really pushed it.

In college (in the 70's) someone would pass out doing underwaters about once a week. It was a right of passage. Distance guys could regularly get around 75, pass out pushing off going for 125. Us sprinters could make it 50, I passed out going for 75.

No questions, no Weingarten hearings, no nothing. When someone stopped moving we just dove in and pulled them out.

60 meters is my best this summer. I did ~90 in my younger days but I don't swim that much any more.

we are not talking about college, bitch.

Yes

From the pier out past the sandbar at my grandma's pond where is grew up.

I was 14. It was about 35-40 yards.

Don't care, I was. Of course that was was back when men were men, not shriveled up little mama's boys.

Ooh. You got told.

Just under 40 yards for me, I was so proud.
