Honestly , No one can answer that. There is an estimate most people can be underwater for 4 minutes until they start to suffocate. But everyone's body is very different. Especially if your under 19 you are most likely not be able to be under water for a long period of time.

It takes about 8 minutes to die from asphyxiation. At the 5 minute mark, the brain cells begin to die. However, long before that, unconsciousness begins.
