Hold my breath for 3 minutes

i want to become a free diver, cuz i love it so much i just love the sea its just so beautiful down there. and i want to learn how to hold my breath for three min

...but it was easier than I expected. If I actually practice, I should be able to hit three minutes with relative ease.

meditate under water . it works .

I entitled this item as “hold my breath for 3 minutes” since I expect most people who would set a goal along these lines would choose 3 minutes. Actually, my goal is 2:30 minutes.

I’m blogging my progress here:

Two and a half minutes is my record so far. Hopefully practice will reassure my body that it will not die in the next 30 seconds. It’s pretty convinced of that right now.

I swan 600 yards the other night. I’m going to increase slowely to about 3500 yards, a couple times a week. Then I’ll work on holding my breath.

I’m going for three minutes. I’m going to call an EMT before I do it, just in case.

I swam 250 feet underwater a few years ago. When I came to the surface I nearly passed out. It was a defining moment in my life. I decided that the road I would follow for the rest of my life would not include doing stupid things like that.

Alas, I have lost the road, and now wander in the woods.

Anyone else out here? Hey! You! Over there! Want to hold your breath with me?
