Being a swimmer, I can hold my breath up to 80 seconds. My friends will be amazed at my breath controlling power. Pranayama helps a lot to control breath.

I can hold my breath for 45-50 seconds. My record is 55 seconds, but it was 4 or 5 years ago and I don't know for how long now I would hold my breath. Maybe I will try and write it there later.

when we were younger, during high school days, we used to "play" that under water. me and my friends would hold on to each others arms, go under, and wait for the first and the last one to come up. another friend outside the pool would count the length of our stay underwater. the longest i ever did was 107seconds. but heck! my friend was better! he did a full 120seconds.. which includes the 5 seconds he almost drowned.. hahaha.. c",)
