Why does a swimmer hyperventilate in order to hold their breath for a longer period of time?
So they can hold their breath longer. By hyperventilating they remove excess CO2 in their body, then when they take a deep breath, they are able to have more oxygen in their body, thus being able to hold their breath longer. It can be dangerous because breathing is regulated by the level of CO2 in our body, and when too much is removed, the body doesn't know when breathe again. http://www.deep-six.com/page73.htm
