How long can YOU hold your breath underwater?

Question

........and what would be a good way to increase that time?

Answer 1

I am afraid to put my head under, never learned how to swim because of my fear.

Answer 2

About the same as not underwater.
Want to increase the time? Jump in the deep end with weights chained to your ankles.

Answer 3

I'm not sure, but I wanted to see how long my mother-in-law could hold her breath underwater. Three days later, she's still going strong at the bottom of the pond in the woods behind my house.

Answer 4

umm.. i can only for a measly 40 seconds. I practised a lot during the summer because i was diving a lot and swimming. At the end of the summer that increased to 1:30. More practise the better you'll get, and that goes towards anything.

Answer 5

A very scary pastime! I won't snorkel in water over twenty five feet anymore.Florida now has white sharks too! Found a six sided brass nail in 3 feet of water after a hurricane. It shined in the light and at first I thought it was gold! It is from an old ship I guess.
