How to Hold Breath Underwater

[crazyfornatwolff12]

Ok, so I am going to put a child in a bathtub and quickly shove his body underwater expecting him to NOT drown. Okay, got it.

[iRibz]

there's me thinking this video would teach me how to hold my breath for longer..not how to actually hold my breath

[scorpion4z]

LMFAO the dude looks like a midget!! xD

[TheDslide]

are we balancing the like/dislike bar ?

[Crowking18]

its quit simple close your mouth and dont suck in bitch

[Hypeman10]

Step 1: Hold breath for as long as you can, then go to step 2.

Step 2: If you are reading this, you have failed.

[28thsilverlight]

@essackam That's what the chlorine in the water is for. It kills germs

[blakerwalk]

@28thsilverlight True ! But it doesn't eradicate non-organic matter (urine, feces, etc.).

[chr0305]

you can hold your breath with open mouth.. 

[essackam]

Professional advice for holding your breath when swimming. 'You know some people pee in the water, so if you kinda swallow or have it in your mouth, well..."

[chuyfdz97]

[TheJokicar]

How to Hold your Breath Underwater:

1 hold breath

now you have learned how to Hold your Breath Underwater

[aplace2grow]

I really think a part is missing--keeping water from flowing up your nose--I finally learned this after years of using nose clips: keep exhaling just bit through your nose as you swim a few strokes to empty your lungs by the time to take the next breath.

[boogiedownsista]

@aplace2grow Great tip.  I find when I jump into water the water enters my nose even when holding my breath.

[M00nLyght]

im lrarning how to swim in my bathroom. :D

[MOONyMAN24]

wow ... amazing ... he has a waterproof watch

[RobloxiaVideos]

This is kind of like watching "How to breath". -.-

[ItsCandiMandi]

[scboards1]

[sacoolkid1487]

[jgalindez24]

yea because i always thought if you held ya mouth open the water would release oxygen into your lungs...!!

[Exlusiv2009]

Press #3 for "Hold your chicks" LOL

[DanSkateMw2]

Who the hell cant hold his breath???

[JulietsMan]

#1 mistakes swim instructors make when teaching kids is telling them they need to "hold their breath" while they swim. The normal breathing cycle MUST remain unincumbered when learning to swim. The cycle is INHALE while face is OUT of the water, EXHALE while face is UNDER water. AND its essential that kids know how to exhale thru their noses and NOT out of their mouths. My mouth remains open while I swim I just dont breath thru it. Thats hard to teach kids.

[infurno11]

press 3 its funny

[XxDunkFunkxX]

Ooooo Let Your Bubbles Out :) Lemme try dat xx ♥

[prohockeyplaya20]

i pooped myself

[MrWulf360]

time to win a few bets

[BeckLikesOreos]

eww when you think about it, pools are kinda nasty...

- everyone's body parts are in the water together

- sometimes people pee

- people fart (poop particles)

and still we have our mouths in the water (gross!)

[JulietsMan]

@BeckLikesOreos Thats why we use chlorine. It kills everything in the water except you..IF the chemical levels are maintained.

[xxxChriChrixxx]

Now I know how to hold my breath.

[lordanne6]

no thanks i dont want to die

[lordanne6]

@lordanne6 omg this vid was on my bday!

[kikomach3]

@lordanne6 who careS????

[abbydoodlelovesjb]

@str8killinitdawg um yesssssss

[Stunnedstudios]

I was watching Navy Seal training videos and this is what i get!!!

[xxjacobxx3]

obviously you cant breath through your nose either.... guess it aint that important.

Also, you can blow out your nose when going down feet first in order to keep water from coming up your nose. or during a underwater front flip or w/e.

[saberallen5]

aww i though he'd tell us some kind of trick to holding your breath, so we can hold for like 10 minutes, like the pros.

[XrileycampbellX]

@saberallen5 thats what i thought...

[fockewulf190ar]

86 people have breathed water, sometime.

[loveme5031]

Wow... This is probably the stupidest thing... You don't breathe... that's how you hold your breath. -__-

[waterski179]

oh my gosh so hard you really need to learn how to do that really

[vonnythatguy1]

Wow....... this helped me SO MUCH! I would never have known not to intake water without captain obvious telling me!

[Paintballrocksfl118]

Dude i hope u know this but a freaking 1 year old knows not to breath underwater...

[TheCrazypaper]

i held my breathe the whole vid

[MSadamgasm]

i can open my mouth underwater and not swallow any water or drown...

[nhiluu97]

can u blow bubbles out of ur mouth instead the nose?

[AwesomeAlexander100]

press 3!

[Anfmethodjor]

@CharryChuCinder12 you don't understand. This is serious business. When I'm swimming under water I don't know if the last time I inhale, I have to inhale enough air for my lungs and my mouth. I keep my mouth full, and when I feel like I can't go any longer, I start inhaling the air in my mouth, and only then I exhale. But he says, to simply exhale little by little. Swimming under water is a challenge because of the exercise.

[grymmatarmar]

when i hold my breath i need to hold my nose so how can i learn without holding my nouse becuase the water goes in

[mikeakaspike]

My problem is that I always have this swallow reflex unless I'm plugging my nose and I subsiquently take in water through my nose, every time I try without plugging my nose... no one seems to know why and I was looking for tips, maybe some other people have this happen to them, and if so, how did they get over it?

[comeonfu]

I watched this so i thought i could learn how to hold my breath for like 2-3 minutes.....

But this comes out to be the lamest thing on earth how to hold ur breath ur 10 secs nt man

[Ramishtine]

Is this guy serious????

[TheDriveWay1]

This video sucks balls



[hpprinterboy12]

Herp a Derp, 

[ahweishow]

[34353453]

By learning this i will find Osama bin Laden. #LOL

[pup101]

@34353453 well since hes now dead....... i think he knows how to hold his breathe quite well :D

[thebigcheez111]

[NOMADA430]

[ashkethup14]

[richardwonka]

To learn more about holding your breath under water, please contact your local *Freediving* instructor.

[sheunghyun]

[kiraheart4000]

[AndradaFunkyI]

he s funny=)))))

[JohhnnyBoiii]

press 3 for epicness...

[pittsburgh877111]

It is possible to open your mouth while holding your breath. I can even talk under water while holding my breath.

[Balfourism]

first offf... holding your breath is not about having inflated cheeks and pursing your lips... I can Open my mouth underwater and let water into my mouth...... that doesn't mean im letting it into my lungs........ The air in your lungs is being held there by the Epiglottis

[MrPoghead]

inhaling water may can induce a drowning type of effect of feeling....... wise words

[kp77291]

so dumb everybody knows how to hold there breath

[mrboyd72]

I'm not sure what bothers me more. The fact that there is a video for holding your breath or that there are 75 thousand views for it.

[PureAFM]

not realy helpfull

[christiangirl878]

every one tells me to blow out through my nose but for some reason that back fires and water goes in i know 5 year olds who can go under with out holding thier nose and they intimadate me ;]

[sweetapples11211]

@thelostbunny im not phillip but i know what if you dont plug your nose then plug it.

[trumpetermonkey]

[bp1938]

Thumbs up if you held your breath throughout this entire vid.

[mightymotoxkid]

OMG i didnt know how to breath before this video.. thanks again youtube!

[fckfedz]

realy?

[truffles174]

idk if this is stupid or not but how can you hold your breath longer???because i can only hold it for 25 seconds 

[Pellaz2112]

@truffles174 Here's a few suggestions: 1. Don't eat too much that day -- seems like you can hold your breath longer if your torso and abdomen are "emptier." 2. If you can, hold onto something on the side of the pool...if there's nothing to hold on to (like in a lake), you can use a rock or diving weights. This is so you don't expend effort to stay underwater. 3. Before starting, take a few deep breaths. 4. While you're under, clear your mind; it might help reduce your heart rate.

[MuizzuTong]

@Owneador1337 HAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAH XD

[vai07777777]

Blowing out air bubbles is not necessary. Kinda expecting something else in the video expect keep your mouth shut LOL. I spearfish and the most basic tip is taking several deep breathes before going under - this only can increase duration by 50%.

[skate3745]

@Owneador1337 i am extremely serious now,that is the funniest thing i have ever read.

[mrcardio9r]

My best is 3:00 minutes but I'm in the worst shape of my life right now. I think I could stay under 4:00 minutes if I really wanted to.

[10023904]

[caboose3698]

Can you do a video about how to do a cannon ball next???

[RelaxGodfolk]

I think if people do not know this humanity may be better if they drown. Survial of the fittest.

[Technitube]

I have always tried to hold my breath under water, but I can't. I don't know what I do wrong. I'm taking a deep breath and holding it, but when my head is getting under water, i get the feeling like i'm going to throw up, especially when I tilt my head upwards. I think it's because the water is entering through my nose. Am I the only one who has that problem? What can i do? I really wanna learn to swim.

[larry89]

@Owneador1337

HAHA!

[xskypillarx]

I thought this came naturally for people o.o

[markialgerian]

You are amaizing thanks for the courses they are really very important, and i just like swimming

[Hailey5210]

[asterix645]

@Owneador1337

[AaL3XaNd3R09]

Held my breath this entire vid plus advertisement. Not hard just don't think about it but don't forget either!

[witchesbrewable]

I didn't know cows could swim.

[keno419]

NOW I KNOW HOW TO HOLD MY BREATH XD XD

[cRaZyBeAuTiFuLsMiLe]

arent u supposed 2 tke a deep breathe thru ur nose??

[clusterbeam]

No, you must never breath in through the nose. Always breath in through the mouth and out through the nose (in the water).

[Xinuzuka96X]

lol i can only do 1:03 >_>

[sexheadache]

yeah like you'll ever be able to hold it for that long.

[fuckMEimrussian]

dont hold your breath for that long. just when you need air turn your head to the side and then back down.

[Birch00112]

best ive ever got is 2:18

[DFWsFinest]

Is that blood on the side of the pool?  You're not giving my kids swim lessons!!!

[picaticatara]

I'm 14 and my record is: I hate chlorine in my water and it ruins my beautiful hair so i'd rather be in an ocean.

[japp111]

heres how to hold your breath. DONT breath!

[alenor3]

my best is 1min.. but its not like im reaaaly trying THAT hard

[Keyboardmania90]

[00roastedlampost00]

[TheHammersdude]

[TheWaimeaMermaid]

[lintan10]

Nice!

[mystikfire333]

I also thought this would be how to freedive or hold your breath for 5 minutes. If anyone needs to be told how to hold their breath I don't think they should go anywhere near water. Good related videos though.

[Missmusicfreakful]

Good tutorial for swimmmers who are begginners

:)

[Sunrunner6993]

Who the hell is dumb enough not to know that you can't breathe underwater????

[xvaall]

[Sunrunner6993]

Ok for those who need to have everything spelled out for them...my comment was addressed to poster before me who said "I thought this was how to breathe underwater".....everyone understand now?

[ninjafreak80]
