How to Swim Underwater at Night
- 1). Put on your goggles and snorkel. The goggles should fit snugly around your head, but should not be so tight that they are cutting off circulation. If you can feel your pulse in your head when you put them on, loosen them. The mouthpiece of your snorkel should fit comfortably in your mouth and the top of the tube should be about 2 inches to 3 inches over your head.
- 2). Turn on your torch light and jump in the water. Turn on the torch light and check the water you are about to jump into to make sure there are no other swimmers and no debris floating in the area. You may want to have the torch light attached to a lanyard or attached to your wrist to ensure you do not lose it.
- 3). Dip your head underwater and keep the torch in front of you so you can see what is in front of you. Do not go down so low that your snorkel fills with water. If you want to go deeper, remove the snorkel, hold your breath and swim as deeply as you want. Keep the light in front of you when you are swimming and if you begin to feel too much pressure from going too deeply underwater, swim to the surface.
