Porter Valley Masters Hypoxic Club Challenge

Click here for current Hypoxic Club rankings

To become a member of the Hypoxic Club you have to be able to swim at least one half lap (12 ½ yards) without taking a breath.  To reach every stage past this initial step you must complete a consecutive half lap.  For example, step one is 12 ½ yards, step two is 25 yards, step three is 37 ½ yards…etc.  There is no final goal to reach when attempting Hypoxic Club because you can always try to push yourself that extra yard!  As your fitness levels, endurance, and efficiency increase you will be able to extend your distance.

Requirements: The distances must be completed separately and in order, although you may attempt more than one step during a single practice.  For your attempted distance to count the majority of that distance must be swum above the surface.

Good job to anyone who achieved the highest level of brute squad and good luck with your new challenge! If you would like to give it a try, let me know before practice.
