I just tried and mine was 1 minute 16 which I was very proud of until I googled and saw that that’s very average! DH was 1 minute 9. Curious as to what others are?

I’m really bad at holding my breath, I managed 30 seconds.

Not long enough to get through the Dartford crossing tunnel.
Literally no idea why that's important to me.
Try every time, but never make it.

1:34 on a first attempt

I'd have drowned if in the Poseidon Adventure. That bit where they have to swim under some pipework after Shelley Winters has shown the way. I always try and fail to hold my breath for that long.

15 seconds!

About 1.20. I'm a swimmer and used to practice waiting for the train and watching the clock. Might be slightly unusual
Though!

Very little as I tried when watching a programme the other day with 'free divers' in it...........they could hold their breath for 7 minutes😮😳

Just tried and 1 minute, 10 seconds. God the last ten seconds was uncomfortable though!

SirenSays · 18/03/2024 01:28

1 minute 6 seconds - about 30 seconds longer than I expected.

1 minute 36 seconds. Ex smoker, now vape. Also have asthma. I was very surprised to get that far!

Rummikub · 18/03/2024 01:49

31 seconds!

Really struggled with that.

I couldn't escape from an upturned boat!

Im amazed at those who can go for a minute plus!
