What is post-immersion collapse?
Post-immersion collapse, also known as "shallow water blackout," is a sudden loss of consciousness that can occur after a person has been freediving or breath-holding underwater. It is often caused by hyperventilation before diving, which can lead to a decrease in blood oxygen levels without the diver realizing it. This can result in a blackout, which can be dangerous or fatal if it happens while the person is still underwater.

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.
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
