[quote=Anonymous]I just signed up our family for lessons and received a link to an educational video on social media from a friend. In the video it is explaining how breath holding is dangerous for kids and adults because of Underwater Hypoxic Blackout. In the video they were explaining a swim instructor experienced this and was saved by her student along with an experienced swimmer. We are entirely new to swimming and learning swimming breathing, now I am concerned or even more confused. I do feel the initial internal pain/pang of breath holding within just a few seconds but when I push thru it I can hold my breath a little past 40 seconds or so. Am I at risk for this? If you jump into the deep end, how do you prevent this from happening? In the seconds it takes to rise to the surface? [/quote]
