How long can you hold your breath?

**gya321** · 01-12-2005, 11:33 PM

Who can beat one minute? Apparently healthy people should be able to hold it for 50 seconds.

**ONaMission** · 01-12-2005, 11:45 PM

the amount of time it takes to swim the lenght of an olympic size pool and back.

**gya321** · 01-12-2005, 11:52 PM

94 thats pretty good. Ok who can beat that?

**BigMike J** · 01-13-2005, 12:37 AM

I used to be able to hold mine for almost 2 mins.

Maybe only a minute now.. if even that.

Just went for 1:30.

**Prime** · 01-13-2005, 04:22 AM

i can manage about 30 seconds

**Polska** · 01-13-2005, 07:13 AM

6 years ago I held my breath for 2 minutes 10 seconds. The life guard had to come up and tap me to make sure I was alright. My method was holding my breath as long as it took before my lungs started begging for air, then block the urge for air and count to 60. Now I dont know if I could do 1 minute.

**justincredible** · 01-13-2005, 07:21 AM

I just did a minute 20 and now my head is throbing.

You ever notice if you take to big of a breath to hold in its wayyy harder

**wildcatslady** · 01-13-2005, 07:58 AM

lots of deep breaths before you go under but only take a small last breath, last summer I could hold it for 2 mins 32 seconds.

Thereby oxygenating the blood, and not overfilling the lungs. Correct? Could it be easier to hold your breath longer without taking a large last breath (only when pre-oxygenating the blood) because of the extra force exerted by the water preassure on the body and therby the lungs when they are FULL??

**vettewreck** · 01-13-2005, 10:52 AM

2 min 32 seconds several years ago.

**cpt steele** · 01-13-2005, 11:06 AM

When I was swimming a lot and diving I could do it for 2.54 now I wouldnt make 1 min

**ArkansasAlex** · 01-13-2005, 12:53 PM

I can't hold them but for about 45 seconds, but my cousin says he use to be able to hold them for about 3 1/2minutes. And your not suppose to be able to do that without blacking out, he use to be in teh marines, and then he did that diving stuff in cali where he lives, and he says he would pass people with scuba gear on, and just wave at them, sounds like that would be fun!

Peace
Alex

So how long did she go for?

**Dude-Man** · 01-13-2005, 05:06 PM

Back when i was a professional skin diver in tahiti, and we went for pearls twice a day, i could do a little less than three minutes, while swimming. That was years ago and miles away though, and i'm a completely different person now.

**kloter1** · 01-13-2005, 05:45 PM

1min 57 sec. i used to do alot of snorkeling.

**PurePower** · 01-13-2005, 06:22 PM

1 min 15 seconds.

I can swin an olympic size pool underwater(down and back) without comming up. I dont guess that is bad for a 275lb guy.

**BIGB** · 01-13-2005, 07:37 PM

one minute twelve seconds

**Sage** · 01-13-2005, 07:55 PM

**Bound for Muscle** · 01-13-2005, 07:59 PM
