When you start to be in hypoxia, it's not uncommon that your brain automatically relax your bladder muscle in order to save O2 making you pee. It's not a big deal, don't drink too much before so you won't have too much to pee
 
I monitor my O2 by oximeter in that feeling it reach to 70 % so in my case Instead of getting contraction my bladder will be my sign to give up ?

Needing to pee during breathhold is usually related to dive response/blood shunt. As dive response kicks in, blood that would otherwise be going to your arms and legs gets concentrated in the torso and head, so your body thinks you are overhydrated and kidneys start to work, producing urine, and you feel like you need to pee. If you have reduced motor control when this happens (ie you're near the edge)... you might not be able to control your bladder.

It's not a problem in the ocean, it's an ugly reality of swimming pools, and--if you are doing goofy apnea stunts in a glass tank with lots of cameras on you--a terrifying possibility.
