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.
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.
All being well we hold courses in Spring and Autumn. More details below and if you are interested in joining us please fill in the form below to sign up to the mailing list and we'll contact you a week before we announce it to the world (places go quick!)
Having a medical condition doesn’t automatically prevent you from freediving. It simply helps us be aware of any potential issues so we can support you properly and keep you safe in the water.
The purpose of the Medical Questionnaire is to find out if you should be examined by your doctor before participating in freedive training.
Ticking 'yes' to any of the questons below will require you to have it signed by your GP before we can accept you on the course.
