Underwater ballet and holding your breath?

Question

I'm interested in learning underwater ballet, but I don't know how to start or where to go for learning, practice and training.

I also do not know how to hold breath for extended periods of time. How do you expand your lungs and prolong your ability to hold your breath? Like, for a reasonable amount of time, obviously.

Any other information on performing underwater would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Answer 1

Is it by chance called syncronized swimming? Cause I've done that. You basically train yourself by doing it. Also, regular lap swimming helps.

Answer 2

If you start running, your lungs will get healthier. and you will be able to hold your breath for longer. or maybe if you just practice. My friend used to do that and when we swim together she can hold her breath for a ridiculously long time. If you're going to take classes, I'm sure that they will teach you.
