It is not really important however if you keep them about a foot from the surface of the lowest level it will keep them in a position where they are easier to service.

Should you run your underwater pool lights for at least 1 hour a day?

I think you should. The reason why is that sometimes at night the pool lights should be on to symbolize that it is unnecessary to enter, and what if you walk around your pool and trip? My old swimming pool lights were on at least an hour everyday just in case you don't use the lights for a long time it can stop working. The downside to turning on pool lights is that it wastes electricity, but you don't have to put it on for exactly 1 hour, you can turn the lights on just for a few minutes, or how long you think.


Are you supposed to breathe out underwater or hold your breath then exhale and inhale all at once when swimming laps?

When swimming laps (as opposed to racing) you should breathe out in a continuous flow underwater so that you are ready to draw your next breath as your mouth breaks the surface.
