Try it!
used to do this as a child during the summers with my friends.
Dead mans float 3:25
bottom of an 8ft pool around 2 mins.
I wonder how many brain cells I killed over the years

Under water my lung capacity drops like 75%
I freak out and use way too much oxygen. I could probably only hold my breath for 30 seconds under water.yah the secret is relaxing everything, Even your thoughts. I think I even developed the ability to control my heart rate at one point.

The secret is to hyper ventilate before taking a normal breath and then holding it, this saturates the blood and allows your lungs to continue working while you are not breathing, taking a really deep breath and puffing your lungs up wont help, it will actually decrease the time you can hold.
Pretty long when I was diving and snorkling. I actually almost killed myself working on lung capacity. I was doing underwater laps progressing the length and span, then one of the times I went to long and started to black out and reached for the side and got one breath and then blacked out. Luckily that oxygen was enogh for me to recover without drowning. I was like 13 at the time and unsupervised. BUt at the time I could do 50ft free dives. Pretty fun to go where people are scuba diving and swim down to them with no tank because it always freaks them out.

When I was younger, over a minute, but that was while swimming at the same time.

You clear your ears. Basically hold your nose and gently try to blow, they will pop. But at the time I could actually clear them but basically swallowing, it pulls the right muscles to open the area and clear them.
While doing the dead mans float after a big breath i can hold for about 1 minute 10 secs. I want to try the hyperventilating thing though.
Of course hyperventilating is a must. I remeber for the 8ft dives I would have to go under with 1/3 of a breath or I would spend too much energy trying to stay on the bottom.
I can go somewhat over three minutes. I can also pop my ears at will, without holding my nose or anything.
