My best static breath-hold (in a hotel pool) was 3:17, but that was in 2005. At the time, I was 30 years old, of slim build, and had been a full-time SCUBA instructor for 5 years. I worked 6 days a week, doing 2-4 dives per day, most days, but no other 'formal' exercise.

Before I became an instructor, I worked as a pool lifeguard, and kept fit by swimming 3-4 times per week (2000-2500 m per 1 hour swim), doing martial arts twice a week (2 x 2 hours), plus circuit training once a week (1 hour).
