How can you hold your breath underwater for a prolonged period of time and avoid shallow water blackout?
It depends on the person, if you are a swimmer, you can probaly hold your breath for about 7-12 strokes, but if you dont excercise your lungs, them I wouldn't reccomend for that 15 seconds
What are the precationary measures in swimming?
1. Never swim alone. Always swim with a buddy or with a lifeguard present. 2. Don't practice breath-hold underwater swimming. Due to varying partial pressures of gases under deep water, it can cause shallow water blackout. You will not know when this happens, and you will go unconscious underwater. Having a lifeguard around is not a green light for breath hold swimming. They are a life guard, not a paramedic. Even if they were, there's no guarantee of revival if you pass out or drown. People have blacked out in pools before with a lifeguard present and still have died.
What are safety rules for lifeguards?
No running, no breath holding, no playing dead, no horse play, no diving(Shallow water) and no splashing.
Why does a swimmer hyperventilate in order to hold their breath for a longer period of time?
So they can hold their breath longer. By hyperventilating they remove excess CO2 in their body, then when they take a deep breath, they are able to have more oxygen in their body, thus being able to hold their breath longer. It can be dangerous because breathing is regulated by the level of CO2 in our body, and when too much is removed, the body doesn't know when breathe again. http://www.deep-six.com/page73.htm
