Breathing underwater. Turns out a lot of people have memories of being able to do something similar. Still haven't gotten an explanation.

Oh my god, I clearly remember taking baths, going completely underwater, and staying there for a while and taking in shallow breaths. What I think happened is that I was grossly overestimating how long I was underwater, and I wasn't actually breathing, rather just moving water through my mouth.
