I remember when I was younger and we'd have contests to see who could hold their breath the longest in the pool. I'd see everyone else take this HUGE breath and then go under water but I found out that if I took like half a breath instead, I could hold my breath longer. Maybe this is because when you take a huge breath...you need more oxygen faster...I don't really know. All I know is it worked for me. Try it...maybe it'll work for you.

just keep practicing,. but don't strain yourself too hard. keep working yourself up a second or two longer each time.
