Interesting to watch his technique. I’ve held my breath for over 6 minutes stationary, but it’s physical exertion that gets me, completely different ball game. This guys is super human
Alexey is among the best if not the goat, and seems quite humble. From his videos and tutorials is an excelente teacher and extremely empathic and welcoming to newbies and people with difficulties. Just hoping he always stays safe.

я не спортсмен, и тем более не профессиональный пловец - но иногда хожу в бассейн и тоже люблю именно так плавать - проплываю 50 метров до противоположного бортика, разворачиваюсь и ещё плыву назад до середины иногда чуть дальше.. итого 75 метров.. гляжу на Алексея, думаю - может мне тоже начать тренироваться систематически чтобы увеличить свою максимальную дистанцию?.. Но потом вспоминаю, что всё-таки уже 55 и поздно мне гнаться в этом возрасте за мировыми рекордами )))
i reckon he would have made it back for the 300m in total had he kept a constant speed. he would let himself lose his momentum from his kicks by quite a bit so that he had to kick hard and undulate to get moving forward again. He did that at least 3 times per lap, had he not let that happen each time, I reckon he could have closed that last lap off in the same amount of time he did the 250m. I know because I've watched a lot of RU-vid.
Serious question is this still healthy? The normal biological time is 3minutes until your brain gets damaged because of low oxygen level. Is he damaging his brain with long dives or not?
No, that's for a normal person. The way you extend the time you can hold your breath for is by training your body to be more efficient in terms of your lung capacity, heart rate for exchange rates, and tissue metabolism for use of oxygen and production of CO2. The series of exercises he goes through before submerging are to reduce his heart rate, ensure his lungs are filled with as much oxygen as possible and remove the most CO2 from his cells as he can. Unprepared with your breath restricted for 3 minutes, yeah he may start to suffer the effects of hypoxia, just like anyone else. But the preparation prevents this from happening. And in self caused cases, you typically pass out long before long-term damage sets in, so it's generally impossible to hold your breath for long enough to die, and in water as long as there is someone to turn you over, the buoyancy provided by your lungs will cause you to float even if unconscious.
No because that 3 minute rule is for lack of oxygen to the brain. In this case and every case of dynamic/stationary apnia you relax significantly and oxygenated your body as much as possible before the start. As a result the brain might only start to get a lack of oxygen after 2 or 3 minutes and then you have another 3 minutes ontop. Or as you get better even longer as the top guys can even learn to slow their heart rate to decrease the bodies oxygen consumption
He held his breath for more or less 3 minutes 30. He was able to do this while exercising because if a huge amount of training. I do almost no breath holding training and when super relaxed and lying down I can hold my breath for a little over 3 minutes. It's not actually all that hard. What he does is extremely hard but only because he is having to burn up oxygen by working his muscles
Read about the technique called packing air. His lungs are significantly bigger so he can store more oxygen, also right before he goes in he hyperventilates so his metabolism is rich in oxygen and low on carbon dioxide.
Yeah but David Blaine doesn't swim. Completely different game. To train start with freediving training app on your phone, do breath hold tables. It's practice, relaxation and mental toughness.
Yes, they tend to wear weights Round the neck to balance the air in the lungs. I'm just guessing on this bit but maybe he is wearing slimmed down weights under his suit to reduce drag
