This afternoon I cracked 3:00 for a slow 50m for the first time. I reckon I may have had another 30 seconds or so before blackout, but can't be sure. There were no signs of LMC. I did a 2:00, 2:30 and then the three minutes.
I tested the diving style mask in the deep pool. It certainly deals with the pressure much better than goggles! Hardly even noticed the change in pressure.

continuing well
Repeated the session from monday with the 50s. Was easier, but the last two were still hard. It may have been the fast skin pants making the difference. I was holding 40s, which is a little faster. Did a slow 2:15 50m. Need more weight, so more O2, to get much better than this.

I'm back in the water
After a very busy few months I'm finally back in the water. Had a couple of swims last week and another yesterday (2km). Full exhale statics in the 5m pool got to 1:30 and some controlled 85m swims.
Did 20 x 50s yesterday, with the last 10 descending from 1:55 to 1:10 (which was tough and the last half got lactic).
Have started using fly kick exclusively in preparation for my new monofin (above), which will hopefully arrive soon!
BTW there is much work needed for me to fit in the newer wetsuit...
