breath holding

The death toll from last week's tragic swimming pool accident on Staten Island has reached two.

One man has drowned and a lifeguard is in critical condition after a military-style breath-holding exercise in a 3 1/2 foot deep Staten Island pool went terribly wrong.

One man has died and another is clinging to life this morning after being found at the bottom of the "adult lap swim" area of a public pool in Staten Island.
