Same. When I was a kid I would regularly go for over two minutes... I could get to three every now and then but barely. Haven't tried timing how long I can hold my breath in probably a decade. Unfortunately the site doesn't keep going so I tried with my phone, started squirming at 2:45 and made it to 3 minutes.

Nice! I was literally struggling just to hold it for 40 seconds. Of course, long ago I could easily hold my breath for 3 or 4 minutes. (A cousin of mine was able to do it for over six minutes or so. He could also dive to much greater depths than anyone else.)
