Ok im 13 yrs old i took on scuba diving with my dad 2 years ago. i have my own spear gun. and i just bought the cressi-sub garas 2000 free diving fins. I want to start free diving more then anything right now. i can do 4 laps in my swimming pool under water with 1 breath with fins. but when i time my self on how long i can hold my breath its only 53 seconds that’s very bad. What can i do to make me hold my breath longer please help thank you!!!!
Work on slowing your exhale. Hold your breath until you think you’ll burst, then slowly let out just enough air to ease the discomfort. Repeat. Whatever you do, do NOT hyperventilate. It could be the last thing you ever do.

If you’re hyperventilating and slowing your heart rate… then I dunno, but 53 sec is pretty impressive…

My coach always tells us to take deep breaths before swimming under water, and to let a little amount of air go every time we feel uncomfortable. It really helps if you set goals. For example, tell yourself that you won’t come out until you stay under for a minute and each time you set the time longer. Good luck!

just keep practicing.
remember to alternate breathe!
like when swimming freestyle do 3 strokes, breathe, 3 strokes, breathe 🙂
