Gotta dive 18 feet in a pool to get a 20lb brick. Idea?

Just hold your breath under and go go go? I can do 12ft and 20lb brick... and I can hold my breath for 82seconds while at rest.

Hopefully it's not too hard, but if anyone's a lifeguard.. any tips?
 
Was a lifeguard for about a decade its not too tough. Get a good deep breath and go. In the boy scouts we used to have a 25 lbs. rubber coated cannon ball we would use in the pool for the same reason. Now that was tough.
 
The only hard part if you have any leg strength will be equalizing your ears. 18ft is deep enough to potentially give you problems.

oh no's.
 
Ugh, I hate it when it's deep. Going down is not that bad, but it's the up part. Make sure you get down with a hard dive and go straight at it to save time and air. When you grab it, push with all the leg strength you got, that should give you a good boost and your ascent should be easier.
 
Farting on the way up helps too.

edit: it actually probably doesn't... air inside you = you more buoyant, but it's funny, so do it anyways.
 
isn't it better to go down more slowly to give your ears time to adjust to the change in pressure...If you can hold your breath for that long I would do down slow (saving energy too) and thus give your ears time to adjust....I know if I go down below 10 feet my ears bother me too much.
 
Had to do the same thing back in my swimming days. Except we had to carry it the length of the pool. Now that was the hard part.
 
1. Inflate water wings to buoy 20lbs of weight.
2. Put on 40 lb. gold medallion
3. Jump into pool
4. Pick up brick.
5. Remove medallion
6. Charge little kids to see the sunken treasure
7. Profit!

going slow doesn't help equalizing as well as stopping doing a valsavla maneuver and continuiing down...
