Answer 1

You can buy a snorkel

Answer 2

The device you're thinking of is a snorkel, but they have limited lengths (otherwise they get very flimsy and sway a lot). Snorkels are very easy to find at sport shops or on sports websites, or anything related to aquatic activities.

If you're really up for it, you can get trained for SCUBA (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus). It does cost quite a pretty penny, and does take a bit of time for classes, but you can go pretty deep for up to half an hour or more, depending on your level of certification.

Holding your breath for that long takes lots of lung capacity training, and it's generally not safe to hold your breath for two minutes and over. At three minutes the lack of oxygen begins to hurt your body and brain cells.

Answer 3

no. but you could just glue loads of straws together and have a home made snorkle.

Answer 4

If you want to cheat yuo could use a snorkel. If you want to learn how to build your lung strength up you could do this.I am on the swim team currently. What I do is do breathholding every other day. We have sets were we do a four hundred free continuous but each hundred you breath different. The first hundred you breath every third stroke, the second 100 every fifth, the third every 7th, and the fourth every 9th stroke. Also we do breath holding exercises about once a week were you just go down as long as you can. This builds your lung muscles up. Hope this helps.
