Divers swimming efficiency as a function of buoyancy, swimming attitude, protective garments, breathing apparatus, swimming technique and fin type'.

Abstract

The overall purpose of this series of studies was to determine the energy cost of underwater swimming and the effects of: (1) buoyancy and body position (2) fin selection (3) Swimming time (4) body cooling (5) protective garments (6) breathing gear on the over all energy cost.
