Good exercises to improve breath capacity?

Question

What are a few good ways to improve breath capacity? Mainly for swimming underwater long distances without breathing.

Answer 1

Hey, that's what I'm trying to do also. Well, basically just practice going as long of a distance as you can in one breath and you'll see improvement. Take a whole bunch of breaths (so you get a little dizzy) and then a huge breath and go. Then rest a few minutes and try it again, except try to farther than last time.

How far can you go? Me, I can go a lenght and a half; so around 37 meters or so...

Answer 2

go to a pool, and do over unders. You swim above water without breathing, and then below water without breathing

Answer 3

Running is good, and just practicing by going underwater.
