How long can you hold your breath?

Archive: 30 posts

Well since all the buzz of water on LBP is about, why not discuss this

I have always been a good swimmer. I could never swim fast, but i was always able to hold off on my on, and could hold my breath for a long time, and loved to dive down at the bottom of the deep ends of pools (except sometimes when i couldn't take the pressure)

So how long can you hold your breath, longer than our little Sackboy? I went and did a little research and i found out the average person can hold there breath for about 30-45 seconds (which makes sense for our sackboy). What was a shock to me was I thought the record for longest breath was between 3-4 minutes, wow was I off! The record is about 17 minutes :eek:

I can still hold my breath for at least 2 minutes.		2009-12-14 21:31:00

Well thats 1 minute and 45 seconds.



People only ever use 10% of their lungs, i had mine tested and i can optimize about 40%

Still learning to free dive.

(2:45 is my record. I've just eaten lol)		2009-12-14 21:35:00

I'm a good swimmer as well, and I've only held my breath for about 30-40 seconds. I'm sure I can hold it in longer, but I've never tried.2009-12-14 22:22:00

Well a few months ago i had this weird phase where i could hold my breath for as long as i wanted. Some people might remember me posting about it... bad times xD

I think the longest i went for was about 90 seconds but i didn't dare go any longer because it gave me a stinging feeling in my lungs.		2009-12-14 22:40:00

David Blaine suspended himself underwater for 17 minutes, but passed out XD. It's not the conventional hold your breath.

Alright, 55 seconds for me. But it'd be a lot less if I was swimming... And I'd probably float...		2009-12-15 00:18:00

Long enough to dive the full length of a 25m pool and a bit more.
A few years ago anyway.		2009-12-15 16:34:00

I free dive so pretty long. It takes a lot of practice. 140 mins or longer depends on some variances like the depth of the water.2009-12-15 16:43:00

1 minute 6 seconds, I could hold my breath longer probably.
I've heard that a good tip is to breath really fast before holding your breath so that you get loads of oxygen first but I didn't try that there.

I just did there. 		2009-12-17 23:16:00
