When I first started mermaiding, I could only hold my breath for about 30 to 40 seconds. Now that I'm used to it, I can hold my breath for about 1to 2 minutes.
I'm the same basically, mine is 1:47 when my family tested it once but I'm not sure if that's the longest or not. I've been swimming underwater since before I can remember, though. Hopefully these things help. Let me know if you got better? // if they helped?
Levi Castle nah it's possible, i have held mine 2:10 without training, granted i was a competitive swimmer for years when i was young but that was ages ago
@@levicastle8731 Wdym fake? The average amount of time a person can hold their breath is literally 30-90 seconds lmao. I can hold my breath for 1:40 and im 14 🤷♀
I'm actually just getting into mermaiding and I just wanted you to know people like you making these kinds of videos REALLY helps people out. somebody could be watching this video and a couple years later be a really good mermaid because of this video Thank you and we all appreciate your effort into making this video 😁
Same! I've been swimming with an old school monofin and recently ordered my first tail. I'm already practicing these kind of things mostly because I want to be sure to be ready for when I go swimming with a tail. But also because I'm super excited!
As an 11 year old girl this video was a lot of help to me I also want to be a mermaid as well this video helps a lot with tips and tricks and I’m excited to try it out tomorrow when I go swimming
I usually practice for about an hour. To start, I go 1 min hold, 1 min recovery until it becomes easy ~ 20 min. Then I begin increasing by 30 seconds. Top static hold has been 4:30. Always make your surface rest at least as long as your dive time. I know it's easy to push it. Pushing it will get you a shallow water blackout! Also ascending too quick can black you out as well.
The longest I have held my breath is about 1 minute 10 seconds... out of the water. They say there is a reflex that allows us to hold our breath longer when water touches our face, but for me, putting my face in the water means I can hold my breath for a maximum of 5 seconds.
Same. I’m in a choir, so when it comes to holding my breath for long periods of time over water, I can do it. But if I try to do the same underwater I can only last like 10 seconds
Great instruction! I swam almost 25 yards slowly while holding my breath. I kept on saying to myself, "be calm, only two more strokes, two more strokes till I made it.". But now I have a treasure trove of tips to practice. Thanks very much!!! :)
Thank you for the tips, Marielle! I really enjoyed your straightforward video. I'm at 1 min 30 sec sitting here at my desk in the afternoon. I plan to go snorkeling in five months time, so I am hoping to improve my breath holding. I will try to remember to post my progress.
I love love LOVE your videos! I'm new on my mermaid journey. right now my best hold is 2:15 out of water. Under water, not as good but getting better. I'm super excited to use these techniques. Thank you!
Since I’ve been trying to hold my breath since I was little to pretend I was a mermaid, I can hold it for 1 minute and a little bit already. But this will definitely help! Thank you!!
This is really cool! I'm excited to try these Edit: I've tried them out. I'm not sure exactly how long I could hold my breath before but 30 seconds was pushing it I think. I just did it for a minute and a half! One thing that helped me was that I sang I song I know really well in my head to distract myself and when I felt like I was running out of air I focused on my stomach and told myself that there was still more oxygen there. When I focused my mind on it I felt like I could really feel that there was still oxygen for me to use
I've hyperventilated using deep breathing lots of times to swim 33 meters under water. and it was only the length of a swimming pool, where I could not get the depth or I might just have past out due to increased pressure. I don't know how free divers do it, but it seems that they all have different techniques. I do admire those who have control of their breathing and seeing one free diving video on 'YT' with 25 minutes breath hold, which is absolutely amazing.
Thanks for the video, your advise it right on! Even though I have been a "water person" since I was a little girl I took free dive training a couple of years ago and have done a lot of diving and a lot of practice. The only thing I can add is doing yoga for relaxation practice and underwater aerobics for dynamic breath hold practice. To answer your question I can static breath hold for 3:40 and dynamic for around 2 minutes.
I hope you get to review the ameo power breather sooner than soon as I love your tutorials and review videos as you do them in such a fun yet truly honest way😃😃👍👍👍
Awesome Girl! Thank you for your tips! I have a long underwater swim for my Dive Master Program tonight and due to CV, I haven't been able to practice in the pool. Your tips I'm sure will help! Thank you!
Thanks for the tips & this video, Marielle! :) It's a true miracle, when I can hold my breath, for 1 minute. :D I think these tips will help for me too. ^^
Everything you said is amazing and very helpful, I hope you can add some food tips as well. Right now I reached 1:30 minutes underwater with full relaxation I will practice more till I reach 4 minutes .
Right now I’ve been able to only go under water to about 50 seconds, so close to 1 minute! The tips I have are before you try to go in the water, slow your breathing and just sit near the pool. Once a minute or two has passed, countdown from 3 in your head, then go under the water. Make sure you do not let out any air bubbles from your nose or mouth as you go under, but your body may want to have the urge to let out air bubbles for the first few seconds, but trust me, once that urge is over you will start to feel at peace, and may hear your heart beat. If you can’t hold your breath very long underwater, I suggest first do 10 seconds, then 20, then 30, then 40, then 50, then a minute. Also, don’t move around, like she said, stay floating at the top. It uses less energy. And don’t push your self to stay underwater if you feel the need to breathe, because you would rather be safe than sorry. And yes, always have someone with you that you can trust to help you if you accidentally push your limits to far and pass out or drown. But yeah, that’s about it! Hope these help!
*I hold my breath for **3:45** before this video, also I think 50% because of my mental control, not just the O2, You have to stay relaxed and not be afraid to lose control. & some tips I can't type it I need to show it to you.* *PS: (the last time I practice hold breath it's about 1 year ago)*
Everyone in the comments can hold breath for 30+ seconds and they are doing it for there mermaid job. Then there’s me, learning to do this so I can swim stroke faster and can only hold breath for 5 seconds 😭
Great video for those who are starting their journey as a Mermaid.
me!
Me I may be young but I wanna start at a young age is that bad ?
😊 me too
I’m learning all this because I have enough money for a tail and mon fin
Steve Nichols I’m a girl I can only hold my breath for 20 seconds 😂😂😂
As of right now I can hold my breath for about one minute, sometimes a few seconds more. I'm going to try these tips to work on that though!
Usually 1 min. (+ a few sec. more) for me also. :)

1 to 2 min is allot
I am practicing. I could first do it for 45 secs. Then fifty then up to a minute. I have been practicing and can stay in the water for longer now.
My problem is I can hold my breath while still in the water but not while moving like when I’m doing dives or freestyle across the pool
soo lucky mine is 58 secs
Lies you say😒😒😒🥶🥵
I naturally can hold my breath for about 1:15 and just started mermaiding. Hoping to increase that! Thanks for the tips!

Yes, you ask us how long we can hold it. Show us how long YOU can! 😎🧜
Jessie Cherall totally!
Thank you for the tips. I don't want to become a mermaid (or merman), but it will definitely help me with snorkeling. 😊

I just started to do mermaiding this week and I'm somewhere between 45 seconds and 1 minute. I'll work on it though :)
I’m just getting into mermaiding, I already played a wind instrument though so I can hold my breath for around 2-3 minutes!
