Can you stay relaxed underwater when doing a breath hold?

[Kayla45]

I know some people seem to panic, but I think it just takes practice being comfortable underwater, thoughts?

[V_Injector]

I used to practice holding my breath and relaxing the body and mind is vital.

2 minutes and 30 seconds is my record.

It depends on the buoyancy of your body.

This question is given me anxiety how about being above water and breathing

[Kayla45]

Have you gone swimming in a large pool before? You can cover much more distance underwater, less air drag keeping you slower. It’s an interesting fact, I was on the swimming team in high school, loved it!

[Iron_Man]

Yes, I have
And the ocean but I’ve had classic phobic issues before I need to be above water breathing

[Kayla45]

Ah, I see. Thanks for the response. Just curious on your take on it, thanks.

[Iron_Man]

Ok….

[Wiredone]

I can for a little while. Then I have to breath

[shortster]

For a time. About as long as I can hold my breath; then I become frantic.

[MrGSpotHer]

I used to I don't know about now I could hold my breath forever 😆
