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.''

That sounds... really disturbing... the 'glub glub' especially.

Poor you! That must have been really weird. And scary.

It's not so horrible, but i swallowed a lot of water

.
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'

... so it's creepy.

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.
