I'm a former competitive freediver and back when I was training and competing regularly I got to a point where I could hold my breath over 5 minutes pretty consistently. At one point I was training too much and trying to grow too fast, I burned myself out. So I stopped diving.
Now fast forward just a couple of years later and it's hard for me to do any long underwater breathholding. Especially in front of a camera! The mental space just isn't there... but on this beautiful day at the pool I went in with the intent to just relax, not perform. I did a series of very comfortable underwater breathholds with minimal struggle or movement, just pure relaxation.
