Hope that helps. Maybe someone more experienced can chime in and give us both some useful advice.

When doing static in the pool, you should ALWAYS have a buddy, who should be timing you with a stopwatch. Try for a set time, say 2 mins. At 1 min, your buddy should be tapping your shoulder every 30 seconds, and you should be giving him a signal that you're ok. Once you hit 2 mins, if you can keep going, the taps should come every 15 seconds. Having your buddy taking care of timing takes the burden off of you, so you can focus on relaxing into the hold. It's a great, SAFE way to train and increase your time!
