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.

my record is: 1.10 but that 2 years ago i don't know if i can do that now...
Re: How long can you go underwater without breathing?
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.

Well, in situations like that I panic a lot, so I assume this would impact on the time.
Re: How long can you go underwater without breathing?
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.

That's an impressive amount of time! You should submit it to the GBWR.El Dango wrote:No idea at all, so I'm just gonna make the very optimistic guess of FOREVER.
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.

Re: How long can you go underwater without breathing?
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.
Re: How long can you go underwater without breathing?
I'll try to stay underwater tomorrow at least 30 second, in the poll of my house

Re: How long can you go underwater without breathing?
No. If anyone had lungs that small they would suffocate themselves breathing. Like Mat said, you're doing it wrong.Danone wrote:Just my lungs sucksMatyuv wrote:You're doing it wrong.Danone wrote:My record: 11 seconds

Re: How long can you go underwater without breathing?
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).
