Nov 7, 2018 at 9:38	comment	added	Luaan		@RozzA Keep in mind that free divers exploit the mammalian breathing reflex - that requires cold water in your face. It's much easier to hold your breath in cold water, and it gets even easier as you gain depth and pressure. Indeed, one of the reasons why you shouldn't free-dive unattended is that you might not be able to swim up again - as you rise and the pressure drops, you can easily lose consciousness, drop again, pressure increases, you regain consciousness... This can happen even in a public pool, and is one of the things lifeguards are trained to look for.
