<switchmix/> indicates the breathing gas used. It's possible to change the breathing gas during a dive as often as necessary, but only one <switchmix/> statement may occur inside a <waypoint> element.
If there is no <switchmix/> element given in the first <waypoint>, air should be assumed to be the breathing gas.
