[quote=Anonymous]It’s definitely possible to pass out if you stay underwater too long. It doesn’t necessarily indicate an underlying condition I don’t think. I was a swimmer and I remember a girl passing out trying to go 50 meters underwater without coming up for air. She had almost made it to the wall when it happened. She probably should not have attempted it as this was our summer team and she was not a year-round swimmer. Though I guess it can happen even to somebody with excellent conditioning. Weird stuff starts to happen when you push your limits underwater. If you push past the sense of urgency to come up for air there is a strange kind of relaxed feeling that comes over you. My guess is the next thing that happens is you pass out. I probably came close to that point once or twice when we were working on kicking long distances underwater.[/quote]
