Brief description of study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of partial water immersion and body position on the pulmonary mechanics of trained swimmers. We will examine the differences in the amounts of pressure generated by the ventilatory muscles necessary to produce a breath while partially submerged in the water.
