The reason the mermaid in the aquarium holds her breath for so long is because the performers have had a lot of practice.
Colorful mermaid shows not only bring wonderful performances to more tourists, but also better promote the history of mermaids and add more distinctive games to the scenic spot project to attract more of tourists coming to play. , but the mermaid show is not something just anyone can do.
Static breathing, where the mermaid performs her breathing for as long as possible while lying face down on the water, is a technique commonly used by many mermaid performers. Static breathing involves holding your breath for as long as possible while lying face down on the water. Static holds are often made in swimming pools. Since holding one's breathst a key element of freediving, many beginners start with mainly static apneas.
Dynamic apnea is similar to static apnea. However, dynamic apnea requires the body not to stop, but to swim while holding its breath, requiring mermaids to have higher diving capabilities. Diving into the water for mermaid shows is inherently dangerous, and it makes certain actions even more difficult to perform. Therefore, some amusement parks must also take appropriate safety measures so that mermaid shows can bring joy to tourists safely.
Mermaid diving artists use freediving.
“Mermaid” is actually a kind of free diving, in which female performers put on “tail fins” and swim in the water like mermaids. “Mermaid” diving mainly uses thefree diving, but it is more difficult. Scuba diving refers to diving activities in which divers wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Free diving is a sport that involves inhaling at the surface of the water and holding your breath before diving to the bottom of the water under your own power. In recent years, freediving has become very popular. among young people. In freediving, holding your breath is a very important technique to start with.
Also, for safety reasons, when diving you must choose a partner, never dive alone and always use the correct weight. Do not dive without appropriate ropes and flags.
Notes on adjusting breathing in freediving:
1 Breathe deeply, long, and slowly.
2. Breathe only through your mouth.
3. The exhalation time is longer than the inspiration time, approx.n twice as long. (For reference only: inhale for 3 seconds and exhale for 6 seconds)
4. Adjusting abdominal breathing before holding the breath lasts for about 2 minutes and breathe fully in the last 1-2 breaths. (Inhale first towards the abdomen then towards the chest)
