I can hold my breath for about three minutes underwater pretty easily, probably three and a half if I really needed to, on land I could probably do four. |

Damn 3 minutes eh? I broke my personal best with 2:15 yesterday, but that was pushing it, I came up with a splitting headache... |

Here's an exercise to try. I do it for two weeks before a vacation where I know that I will be swimming and before a marathon. It's based on David Blaine's training method. |

Thanks man, I will be sure to give it a try. |

I find that my lungs burn around a minute thirty and then it stops. My diaphram starts expanding and contracting as if I was breathing and after a half a minute or so it goes away. It's not going to feel comfortable, then I'm past the part that hurts. |

well i just came back from holiday and in a swimming pool i can do 2:20. I climb to the bottom of the deep end of the pool using the steps, since they go to the bottom. Then i hold on to the steps as i don't like floating at the top. Chest convulsions started at 90seconds and they kinda hurt but i ignored them or curled up into a ball until i couldn't take it anymore. Just don't breath out like any air in the form of bubbles because you need to try and make the mose of it. |

i cant do it on land very well at all. Water is easier cos i dont have a choice about it, because if i open my mouth im going to start swallowing water. |

I haven't timed myself lately, but the longest I've gone on land was about... two and a half minutes if I remember correctly. |

3:18 on land, but I never timed myself underwater. I could swim 50 yards underwater, back in the day when I had almost zero body fat and was on a swim team. |

How do you know you are not dreaming right now?

I figured out what is holding me back. I again today, did a little over 2 minutes, maybe 2:05 or 2:07, sitting underwater. My issue is not the lack of air, (well I guess it is) but rather, way before my lungs start to burn, my head starts to pound, and it hurts so f-ing much, I have to come up. I have no doubt if that wasn't there, I could hold well over 2 minutes, maybe even 3, but that's pushing it. |

That could be water pressure on your ears. The deeper you go, the more that will hurt. It happens to people a lot of times when they haven't been swimming much recently. Ear plugs help with that, and staying near the top of the water does too. Also, the closer you are to the surface of the water, the longer you can stay under (so I was taught). |

If your body is in the water when you take that last breath, then you have a lot of pressure on your chest (more than you would think anyway) and you aren't getting nearly as much air. |
|
I got news for you: While you would take in more air, it would require more energy to stay submerged because you are now more buoyant You could float face-down for longer, but as for being under, I'm not sure, it would require balancing out. |

Thanks guys , |

That's why I'm in a lucid dreaming forum, why hold your breath when you can breathe under water? |
|
When holding your breath under water should you release air when you're under or hold it just like you're holding your breath on land? |

Starting from scratch
Random (but cool) thread idea, bro! When I was younger, I used to be in swimming lessons all the time, and I just looove jumping off boats in the middle of lakes. I guess you could say I'm a water person, too. |

How do you improve how long you can hold your breath? I don't swim much and the longest I can ever do on land is about a minute. Do you just start doing it every day and that increases your lung capacity? I play the trombone and I think it would help with that too. thanks. |

Well really Phobia, you can improve. It's not easy, and not pleasant, but if you want to you can... If you can do a minute on land, keep practicing a minute, don't move, lay on your bed or a chair, breathe deeply out then in 3 or 4 times (hyperventilating)(this depletes the CO2 in your blood, and gives you a slight bit more time underwater) then purse your lips, and softly but firmly suck in as much air as you can, try to pack in a bit more, you can look up that techinque called "packing" practiced by experts. Just remember, underwater is harder than on land, if your going to try for alot, do it with a buddy. (You can faint alot easier than you'd think). |

Thanks bro. After I made that last post one night in bed I actually made it 2 minutes. That was after getting the CO2 out like it said in some earlier posts. Yeah I don't plan on dying and I don't swim underwater so I think I'll be ok. BTW when I have hiccups I always hold my breath for as long as possible and that gets rid of them. |
