Holding your breath underwater is harder because the pressure of the water surrounding you is greater than air pressure and that's why most people can hold their breath underwater for less time.
Anyways, now that I'm done acting all Mr. Wizard like, my time (not in water) is:
40 seconds with no practice.
I'll try to get that number up by the end of the weekend and post my new and improved time here then..  |
I can hold it for > 2 min underwater and it doesn't feel any different than on land. I don't understand what the correlation between increased pressure and holding-ur-breath-time is. It's not like there is enough pressure to force that air out of your lungs and back into the atmosphere...
And wow, this thread was brought back after a long time. Is it because people are swimming more now that it's summer?
