Hold your breath

Re: Hold your breath

@NavAhmed

My record is about 5 minutes holding breath under water, but you have to keep exhaling slowly and intermittently and many avid swimmers can do this easily, I think total interruption of breathing will be maximum 50 seconds to one minute for me also underwater. Never tried holding breath on ground.

I think you are right, I think underwater you can hold breath for much longer. I believe your body is more likely to use the residual air capacity in your lungs when you are submerged than when you are on the ground.

Which one is your favourite swimming stroke?
