[quote=Anonymous]Are you exhaling underwater? You need to get rid of the air in your lungs first before you can have room to inhale fresh air when you bring your face out to breathe. (Teaching kids to blow bubbles underwater isn't just for fun and for getting used to wet faces!) You might not be able to exhale completely underwater in time to turn your face and inhale fresh air, but getting rid of most of that "old" air steadily in advance will make room for the new breath you need to take. Otherwise you're just trying to top off lungs that are already full of CO2 with little gasps for extra oxygen, and that doesn't work.[/quote]
