Why do people wear a wetsuit in a pool?

Swimming while wearing clothes is a gawd awful sensation.

destiny2k6 - 8 years ago

+kansasthunderman1 I imagine one reason is to practice as if you were diving for real, so wearing all gear to get comfortable with it. Second would be simply cos the pool is cold.

Actually, I love swimming in a wetsuit. Feels better to me at least.

Ok, thanks! I know what I'm buying myself for Christmas.

Luke Beauchamp - 11 years ago

You pretty much got it right. Just get a 13,000 foot snorkel and make sure you have strong lungs to push against the water pressure.

Soup4Dayz - 11 years ago

So if I got a 200 foot one, I could explore the Titanic? :O

I see and you know this how? I've been asked the question for real on many occasions but then you wouldn't know that because you're a cretin.

NOOOOOOOOO,you just ruined my childhood

Your lungs would still not be able to move themselves open and close with all the pressure.

EyesofPhysics SRG - 11 years ago

He was making fun of the comment asking if snorkeling allows you to breathe underwater, you numbnut.

Anonymous X - 11 years ago

I was hoping to see if the snorkel would allow you to breath underwater...dammit

oogdiver - 11 years ago

Firstly: a really long snorkel just creates dead space that you continually inhale and exhale, re-breathing the same air over and over instead of replacing it. CO2 build-up in the dead space will make you feel breathless and make you take the snorkel out long before you use up the O2 in the air trapped in the dead space. Secondly, if you try to breathe through any length of snorkel with your head fully submerged, you will really struggle to pull any air into your lungs against the pressure.

oogdiver - 11 years ago

With Method 1 (displacement clearing) keeping your head back, after you've exhaled, until your face clears the water will completely clear the snorkel. Bringing your head forward after you've exhaled but before it clears the surface will often leave a little bit of water in the snorkel which you then have to blow clear.

Loool good one and true.

unless it gets divided into two tubes after the mouthpiece with each tube having a different directional valve

What's the name of the song being played by this instrumental?

Warsrecker - 11 years ago

how can you not know how a snorkel works -.-

Micky Daly - 11 years ago

Yes but just below the surface.

oakcutter1313 - 11 years ago

your lung capacity would be too small at some point and the air wouldn't change at all inside the tube. It would bounce up and down in there and you would run out of oxygen

Dazmarazzle - 11 years ago

i pissed myself the first second in this video.

FCSchalke77 - 11 years ago

First time I used a snorkel I thought it was so you got an extra breath to make it last longer underwater ... so I breathed in a whole load of water and I felt sick !!

simkon32 - 11 years ago

Don't give me technicalities! >:O

limewire1990 - 11 years ago

Technically it does!

horsesshotatdawn - 11 years ago

Not sure if it is. Apparently not the only person with this thought. *I don't want to live on this world anymore*

TheRussianBear - 11 years ago

What if you got a really, really long tube for the snorkel?

Montrix - 11 years ago

You haven't gone deep enough, also make sure to take in deep breaths or it won't work.

GameLess 212 - 11 years ago

but how when i try to breath with it under the water i don,t get oxygen i get water o-o

Kayouel - 11 years ago

That what she said

DrZepto - 11 years ago

thats what i thought.

GummyBoar - 11 years ago

This is a joke right?

Psykter - 11 years ago

I'll never forget surfacing with a snorkel and trying to breath through it, not realising the tip was dipping in the water, so for some reason I inhaled stronger and stronger til I ended up deeply inhaling a huge glob of water...I was already out of breath before that...fuck

Epic_Viper - 11 years ago

If you go too deep the pressure wont let the air flow so like the snorkel is clogged

Shaylah Warner - 11 years ago

i think she stick the midle figer at me

IAMDIMITRI - 11 years ago

lol

Byran Lum - 11 years ago

yes a snorkel allows you to breath underwater s long as the tube is out of the water

oOTheKnownwellGoonOo - 11 years ago

no seriously their called yougills apple makes em

thehunted786 - 11 years ago

They do - its called an oxygen tank

MrPacotehmexican - 11 years ago

Yes! In fact, there are some rare snorkels that turn you into part fish and grow gills.

DoN Assault - 11 years ago

you should by a dry snorkell they let u breath under water

djSpinege - 11 years ago

too long though and air can not circulate.

dlkj21 - 11 years ago

is the water supposed to enter the mouth when you dive down?

darkhorse - 12 years ago

Yes and the longer it is, the deeper you can go.

Erik Johansson - 12 years ago

Nope, it just allows you to face downwards while swimming around at the surface. May seem like a dud, but you'll find it is really convenient to be able to keep track of what you're seeing down in the water while coming up for a breath :-)

MULTIPLE CAMERAS! you to can be a producer pro with multiple shots of the same event ! (or use one camera and do the same scene a few times . . .)

GEORGE SANTAMOURIS - 13 years ago

or 3rd go and buy a snorkel witha bypass under the mouth hose....= )

Yeah, thank you for sharing the first method. For some reason, something like 95% of snorkelers don't know about the much easier method number 1
