Include sex and age if you want to (and if it has increased or decreased!).
Someone has managed 24 minutes which is staggering.

Emil Zatopek used to hold his breath until passing out.
I can hold my breath for not that long. I don't know why. ?♂️
When I was training for water related military training courses I was in the 4 minute plus range close to if not 5 minutes.
3 minutes, male 29.
Those are both very impressive.
Sham, is it under a minute?
I can't hold my breath for very long either, but I've discovered it's highly trainable!
Is this going to make me dinner than I am?
I can't afford losing anything up there at this point.
Don't do this by hyperventilating underwater, you might pass out and die.

I am not sure. You could try it and report back. If it doesn't work I will make you dinner.
YMMV provided information about Wim Hof, a famous breath holder. He swam under ice. I am planning on doing this from my sofa, not in a pool.
The longest I witnessed on TV was David Blaine.
He did over 17 minutes.
He wasn't doing so well after that...but he survived
Late 40s. Over a minute in a pool when relaxed. My guess is close to 2 min if I focused on it. My 11 y/o went 90 seconds. I've free dove with guys in Hawaii who can go 3 mins +. Synchronized swimmers also stay under forever.
Introduce stress and exercise (like a big wave cold water hold down) and maybe 10-15 seconds tops before panic/drowning become a real possibility.

I think I can do it for maybe 70 seconds but I can't remember.

If you practice the Wim Hof method, it isn’t that hard to get to three-plus minutes. Good idea to do it on a couch/floor.
I've done 3 minutes on many occasions, including once in my 30s. The longest was 3:30 in a contest against a friend as a 15 year old. I was starting to get dizzy.
BTW - I lost the contest. He stopped at 3:45. It was a good thing because our teacher came back not too long after.
My teacher in middle school walked in on me and my friends rubbing our nipples. True story.
At the end of college I held my breath in a swimming pool, went just shy of 3 minutes and was pretty impressed with myself. I'm a guy.
3 minutes, did it with the hyperventilating technique. pretty easy to do actually, but you have to warm up.
Little did i know that method is extremely dangerous. you should always have someone around if you try it.
Same for me; 3,43 by hyperventilating method. Could probably go further in next try. By each attempt, you could prolong - "warming up". Around 1:45 without hyperventilating.
Thank you. I did it using the Wim Hof Method, which involves hyperventilation.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
