25m underwater in 3 strokes

richies · Feb 9, 2006

Hi

Some time ago I saw an mpeg of a freediver swimming the entire 25m length of a pool underwater in only 3 strokes.
Has anyone else seen this, and if so, can you please tell me where you saw it? I can't for the life of me find it anywhere!

Thanks

With a kick off the side and enough weights to hold me nuetral with a full breath, I'm pretty sure I could. You do mean a frog kick and arm stroke counted as one stroke?

I seem to remember he didn't kick off the side, and he was wearing one of those skin-tight body suits, without weights, and I don't remember if he did a normal breast-stroke or something like this guy: http://www.flurl.com/uploaded/166m_underwater_6901.html

I managed the 25m the other night, but it took me about 8 strokes!

This guy is doing it in about 5 strokes but he's still moving fairly fast when he does his next stroke, obvioulsy if he's going for a distance record. but if he glided to almost a stop between strokes I'd guess he can cover the pool length in three of those strokes.
