I don't know about that particular person but on a somewhat related note: At the Olympics 1936 in Berlin, the famous "Kenterstaffel" ("capsizing squadron" might be the closest translation) performed at different occasions. They did an on-water ballett in (folding) kayaks, paddling, capsizing and rolling synchronically. Part of it was capsizing several boats simultanously, leaving the boats, keeping underwater for a long time while breathing the air caught inside the kayaks, then changing kayaks, entering them and rolling up again. Would this be a nice workout at your next rolling class?
