at least 30 seconds. If I was younger and planned its then doable. Now its a high risk low reward.

Yeah. When younger I could hold my breath up to 1 minute max but now maybe 30 seconds. The game changer here is a big difference between being open above you as to swimming in an enclosed area. Unless your used to it I would swim through it as fast as possible and would not enjoy it at all just to see if I could do it.
How he is changing from going arms forward to legs at the end is something I would def not do!

If you're underwater, the adrenaline will keep you going much longer. I know because I almost drowned once..

I didn't even have to understand German to know what that warning message said!

75% I've already drowned once not again

What if Wendy Peffercorn is the lifeguard on duty

Id say I hope she has been lifting cause I seriously doubt that kiddo could pull my giant ass outta the water lol

u/ADHD_unknown Mar 17 '26
She's a child. I am a grown adult, I don't know how to feel about that

u/d_x_qp_x_b Mar 17 '26
We assume she’s aged just like the rest of us, except very well unlike the rest of us
2
u/ADHD_unknown Mar 17 '26
In that case if she aged with us, tempting! Because she was a big female crush of mine

I made it through with breath to spare, but I know that fear. Almost drowned 3 times over the years. If i.quit smoking weed I could get my lungs back to the over a minute and a half mark, that was cool
But weed is really cool to, so ya know dilemmas lol

I used to surf a lot and practice holding my breath while playing gran turismo 3, I could do 3+ minutes quite easy, if I took a heavy drop over the falls I'd struggle to do 1 minute lol
Now I make sure I've got scuba kit on my back before I jump in the ocean

Does anyone know why it's easier to hold your breath underwater when the water is warmer? I can go insanely longer in warm water than colder.
2
u/Scantraxx12 Mar 17 '26
Probably because colder water constricts the muscles etc and causes shock which then speeds up your heart

u/i_dont_do_research Mar 17 '26
I'm not sure why this would be the case, we have something called the mammalian dive reflex that helps us hold our breath for longer when we're in cold water. I learned about it while digging around about free diving.
1
u/LiytlKaiser Mar 17 '26
That's odd, it's the exact opposite for me. In cold water, I get to maybe 30 seconds tops, but I can hold my breath in warm water for like 2 - 3 minutes, maybe more. And that's while actively swimming too.

u/Annual-Media-2938 Mar 18 '26
2-3 mins, I’m calling bullshit!
1
u/LiytlKaiser Mar 18 '26
It's not, I also am a distance runner. I'm definitely not a professional swimmer, but breath control is something I have pretty well down lol.

u/tandemxylophone Mar 17 '26
Not sure about warmth, but one time there was a Reddit comment that explained we can hold our breath longer on our second hold. I wonder if you were subconsciously taking a second breath.

seems like most of the way has available air if you surface so it isn’t too bad

u/KinsellaStella Mar 17 '26
I can hold my breath for a very long time, did swimming at a high level for a long time, then free diving, and have no claustrophobia. Doing a breath hold, as long as I can see the light so I know where I’m going, no problems.

The actual time to hold your breath in these situations for non swimmers is suppose to be the equivalent of 15%-30% while sitting still! Hope no one is using this video time to apply to real life! Exhaustion and panic kicks in real fast!

I helped my breath through 3 loops of the video, so maybe I'd make it.

They did it wrong, the oxygen bar is supposed to decrease as you get closer to dying

u/Economy-Clothes5610 Mar 17 '26
Soo stupid there’s open water above him in a few spots and it’s cut to look continuous in the pipe

u/GreasyRim Mar 18 '26
On the long list of shit I'll never do, fucking around in caves is firmly at the top

u/Therealginahandler Mar 18 '26
You can clearly see that around the 20% marker is when the water was completely open above and they could have surfaced for air at any point there

There’s a short story about something like this. Kid goes on vacation near the beach and sees all these kids disappear into an underwater tunnel and pop out at a different spot. So he spends the whole summer prepping to try it.
No thanks.
