Delayed starts are a popular training technique in freediving and to a lesser extent in hockey. Hold your breath for 15 seconds, then swim a 25. Keep increasing the amount of time you hold for before the length to improve. They're reasonably safe, mimic the case of going down and waiting for the puck as a forward and are a good way to teach your body to relax when you're not active on the bottom.
