Effect of Underwater Swimming on Physiological and Perceptual Parameters in Competitive Swimmers: A Comparison With Surface Swimming [PDF]
European Journal of Sport ScienceIn competition, swimmers alternate between swimming on the surface and underwater; they therefore train in apnea to improve their tolerance to lack of oxygen during exercise, even though research in this area remains limited.
