Bottom time has nothing to do with fitness, it has to do with training for bottom time. It's more a mental aspect than anything else.
When I was a younger and fitter version of myself I could rarely stay down 10 seconds in a game, but I could repeat all day. Most of my drops were 5-6 seconds. It wasn't until I started thinking about playing in a deeper pool that I worked on staying down longer. Now I am older and much less fit and can stay down longer. But I know players far more fit than me that blow my bottom time out of the water. It seems they train for both.
