How can I hold my breath for longer ?

When I go swimming we have a compitition to see who can hold their breaths the longest and my longest is 17 s and I want to hold it for longer and soloutions for this x thanx x

Answer #1

practice taking longer and deeper breaths so your lungs can hold more…also when youre actually underwater it helps to let some air out of your lungs when its too much to hold in- its gonna help you sink a little bit and hold you under longer

Answer #2

you have to be really relaxed under the water. 17 s is pretty long already. But I guess the only way to increase it would just be practice.

Answer #3

Shallow breathing helps, but I have never swum, and exploits can be risky, people´s abilities vary
