How do you hold breath longer under water?
If you're just swimming for fun or trying to see who can hold your breath the longest with your friends, breathe in as much air as you can and then slowly let it out as you go. If you swim competitively, it really depends. I've found when I sprint in freestyle I can do a 25 without breathing if I tildmy head all the way down, cup my hands, and charge forward as fast as I can, although I don't think you're supposed to have your head that low... But it works!
It veries from person to person!!!!! Most adults can hold their breath for about 45 seconds.
Although, some people such as Navy Seals are trained to hold their breath underwater for an extended period of time, or in other words several minutes.
What swim cap works best to protect your hair when swimming?
competition and practice caps will keep about 90% of hair dry. my thought is this: if it is an attempt to keep chlorine out of your hair, it is best to wet your hair with tap or bottled water first. hair soaks up water like a sponge, so if your sponge (hair) is saturated with low chlorine water, then not much else can get in to do damage. aloha
Does the depth of the pool effect your swimming?
I'm not quite sure of the exact scientific method, but if the pool is to shallow than it would be a problem, because you could kick the bottom of the pool. I always find it easier to swim in water around 1.5m deep, because if its too deep it makes me work harder, because i want to stay afloat.

How far underwater can humans swim without being crushed?
Water won't crush you at any depth if you are able to fill your body cavities (lungs, middle ear, sinuses) with compressed air at the same pressure as the water. If you don't have compressed air to breathe you will have a very difficult time going more than 500 feet down without suffocating, not from the pressure, but from the time it takes to travel that far while holding your breath. In any event, your body will not have been crushed because it is mostly incompressible water.
If you don't clear your ears (equalize pressure in the middle ear) you can rupture an eardrum in the deep end of a swimming pool.
Do you take your earrings out while swimming?
You can, but some people say it damages it. (My younger sister never takes hers out and they're perfectly fine.)
My mother once told me that if they are gold then you are fine because gold earrings do not rust so its better for the earring to stay pretty and for the skin of the pierced area. I think that taking a bath with some normal earrings humidity or water stays inside the pierced ear and the earring rusts making the skin affected by it causing you to have a bit of itchiness or a bit dark inside. But you never know. Maybe putting a layer of transparent nail polish might help on the loop part that you put your ear inside and secure it so it doesn't fall out. (just to kind of be clear i meant the poky side not the decoration (but you could))

How many calories are burned swimming the freestyle for 15 minutes?
There is no metabolic equation for swimmers because every swimmer swims at a different efficiency.
The easiest way to do it would be to check your heart rate somewhere towards the end of your 15 minutes. Do a 15-30 second count because your HR drops QUICK after exercise. (Subtract about 12 beats per minute from your heart rate (BPM) because your heart doesnt have to work so hard to return blood when under water and it will mess up the calculation if you dont compensate for this).
HR is nearly linear to the amount of oxygen you consume (VO2) so find a reference chart of VO2 vs Heart Rate online and see what your VO2 is at the exercise heart rate, which will be in the units "ml of O2/kg of body weight/min". From that, calculate how many Liters of Oxygen you consumed during the 15 minute swim using your body weight and minutes swimming. Once your have calculated the Liters of Oxygen you consumed you know how many calories you burned because 1 liter of oxygen = 5 calories burned.
If you know how to do math, its all right there :) The hardest part is finding the VO2 vs HR chart.
