i don't think age matter because they could be someone that's about 10 but have really big lungs and someone about 50 that's small for they're age. the bigger your lungs are the longer you can hold your breath for.

How long can babies survive underwater?

They would be able to survive for some time, probably 8-9 minutes without becoming unconcious. They will not breath in the water as when all animals(that includes humans) are underwater, we have a natural instinct to hold our breath, we dont need to "learn" how to hold our breath, if we needed to learn then we would all drown in our mothers womb. Adults are more likely to drown than babies because adults pannic and gag underwater, causing them to choke and cough, which in turn causes them to start breathing water. babies have no such sence of pannic at a new born age.


How long can a boa constrictor hold its breath?

Many factors come in to play, such as the age and size of the animal. A baby with underdeveloped lungs surely can't hold it's breath for as long as a matured specimen. Water temperature is also a factor. It is not too out of the ordinary to observe a boa swimming underwater for several minutes at a time on just a leisurely swim, and they have been known to stay under for 20-30 minutes during mite infestations in an attempt to drown the parasites.


How long can a new born baby hold its breathe under water?

*CORRECTION TO PREVIOUS ANSWER A baby CAN hold its breath under water, but only up to a certain point. It's called mammalian diving reflex. New born babies have this reflex, and will hold their breath and open their eyes under water - though I admit I do not know for what length of time. There are even classes that encourage such "swimming" with parent/newborn teams to try and instill a love of swimming at such a very young age.
