Freediving Taster

Everybody can learn to Freedive.

​

Have you ever been swimming or snorkeling and fancied diving beneath the surface to see what’s down there or to sit on the bottom of the pool for a moment? Have you wondered if Freediving is for you? Then our Freediving Taster course is the perfect place to start!

​

Suitable for beginners we give you the knowledge and skills needed to freedive safely and comfortably. You just need to be over 18, a confident swimmer and in good health.

​

What will you do?

The course is an introduction experience rather than a qualification and covers basic theory, breathing and breath hold exercises, freediving technique, safety and most importantly getting in the pool and trying it all out. Run over 2 sessions you will cover:

​

Session 1: The first session is slightly longer as we cover Theory, Breathing and Breath Hold exercises followed by 90mins Static Apnea in the pool.

Session 2: Dynamic Apnea (swimming lengths underwater) in the pool.

​

By the end of the course you will probably surprise yourself with how long you can comfortably hold your breath and how far you can swim underwater.

​
