[技巧] 潛泳 underwater swimming



>>  underwater swimming <<   breaststroke



Usually there are 2 techniques used for underwater swimming, dolphin kick and breaststroke.  The former is mainly employed during competition or pool swimming.  The later is less seen, but widely used for longer distance underwater swimming.  This video is posted here to introduce breaststroke underwater swimming, but I am not sure if it's world record.

通常潛泳採用兩種技巧/方法:一是豚式、一是蛙式。前一種:豚式(踢)我們常在在各個遊泳賽事中看到,後一種:蛙式較少見但卻為游泳者廣泛使用在玩樂、潛較長的距離等。以下的影片正是使用蛙式的潛泳,但我不確定是否如影片標題所稱的是一個「世界記錄」的影像記錄。

          level:             intermediate to advanced
          importance:  ★☆☆
          difficulty:       ★☆☆

It's difficult for me to rate "difficulty" technically.  It's easy to swim, I mean the move, body position...etc.  However, the breathing control is otherwise.  The longer you would like to stay submerged, the more advanced breathing control technique is demanded.

Take one or 2 deep breath before you dive in, don't take more, if you did, you might easily feel dizzy during swimming underwater, or even in the very beginning of underwater swimming.  Then breath out steadily, bit by bit,  I myself do not know well about breathing technique.  Anyone knows better on the technique is invited to comment here or post your opinions.

Employing breaststroke but with every single arm-stroke pulling back to legs.  PLS refer to the video.
