If my will determines my actions, and it is free for me to do so, why can't I breath under water without the help of an apparatus?

you can breathe water if you choose, but your lungs are not designed to take such low concentration of oxygen in a water medium, thats all. but go ahead!

Here's the thing, a lot of people present free-will as a half-idea. To complete the concept you must include accountability so it becomes Free choice AND accountability.
Now you have the choice to breath underwater without an apparatus, but you will be accountable for that choice, and inhale water.
Does that make more sense?

And my question to you is are you being obtuse on purpose, or do you not understand that the concept of Free Will has nothing to do with the ability to breathe underwater?
Free will means that you have the ability to choose between possible options, not impossible options.

You can, and you do... when you are in the womb. Fetuses have gills. As you won't be needing them after you are born, they go away. You have the free will to take scuba lessons.

You can breath under water. But if you do it for very long then you will die. It's your choice.

Maybe we are de-evolving. I've seen walking catfish. They can breathe air or water.

There is nothing to prevent you from exercising your free will to drown yourself. It has been done before.

your question is comical but doesnt scratch the surface of the theological issue
