How long can you go underwater without breathing?

[Danone]

My record: 11 seconds

[stan423321]

Dunno really. I remember I tried to check that once after some "training" and my mom pulled me out after 45 seconds because she was scared.

[ikke471]

my record is: 1.10 but that 2 years ago i don't know if i can do that now...

[Xenon]

I've held my breath for 80 seconds before, but this wasn't underwater. Perhaps I wouldn't be able to hold for so long if my safety was actually being threatened.

Isn't it supposed to be the other way round?

[Xenon]

Well, in situations like that I panic a lot, so I assume this would impact on the time.

I can get 47 seconds when I'm very calm, but I may get more - I'm just a little bit afraid of diving etc.

No idea at all, so I'm just gonna make the very optimistic guess of FOREVER.

[Acarr]

I'm not a great fan of swimming, so I have no idea xD

[El Dango]

Wow, just noticed the this topic was made last year.

That's an impressive amount of time! You should submit it to the GBWR.

So since last year, I checked I got about three minutes and 5 seconds (3:05). I dunked my head again today and managed 3:23 before I blew my top.

You're doing it wrong.

Just my lungs sucks

[stan423321]

Indeed, they suck too much air. Try to bubble it out slowly, it helps as long as someone takes care of you just in case.

[Danone]

I'll try to stay underwater tomorrow at least 30 second, in the poll of my house

No. If anyone had lungs that small they would suffocate themselves breathing. Like Mat said, you're doing it wrong.

[Rulez]

I just only 25 seconds

No Dan, your record is 25 seconds

[spiraldoor]

I once held my breath for two minutes and six seconds. I was about ten years old, so I don’t know if my current breath-holding capacity is better or worse (and I have no desire to find out).
