I held my breath for two minutes and six seconds once. It was about five years ago.

Well, I dont remember, so I just found a stopwatch on the web and counted with that, just without the water. About 1 minute and 36 seconds. I think I can do it much longer, but I am too tired for it. I am actually still surprised that I don't have any asthma problems, which I had as child.

I think my personal record was around 1 minute and 20 seconds... but now I can't reach easily the 1 minute.

I suffer of asthma :(

My BEST time was like 1 minute and around 30 seconds, honestly, i almost drowned, but it was accidental, i got dizzy when in the beach a wave knocked me down deep in the water, when i was out of the water my head did hurt a lot, and my heart started pounding very fast.

It feels calm when you're about to drown, it's like ''Wooah im drowning...This is calm wooooh....glub glub.'' :confus:

That sounds... really disturbing... the 'glub glub' especially. :shock: Poor you! That must have been really weird. And scary. :(

It's not so horrible, but i swallowed a lot of water :lol:.
Why the ''Glub glub'' part is more scary, that is the sound when you swallow water.

I know... but it's such an innocent sound, 'glub glub' :fou: ... so it's creepy. :wink:

I recall something similar happening to me around five years ago. My entire class (or perhaps it was my year) went on a trip to the beach and were swimming around in the sea. I wasn’t able to go out anywhere near as far as them into the water, for some reason. I’m not sure if I can swim or not, and I hate water in general. A largeish wave hit me and I fell. I was only submerged for a few seconds, but I instantly developed a strong headache (presumably from the water going up my nose or something) which lasted for the rest of the day. I remember feeling a bit dizzy too, and not being able to walk straight for a while (though that may simply be because the wave formations on that beach were very strange and I was looking downwards as I walked). I refused to take part in further sea-frolicking that day.
