... so i figure freediving would be the best place to start! also, I would just like to be able to dive, and get some use out of my camera.
I'm 23, and currently go to texas a&m. I've always liked the ocean, and curently keep a saltwater aquarium. I'm planning a trip to the keys for such, but i'll get into that later.
I was hoping (by mid march) to get to a point where I can go on a 2 minute dive without too much trouble. So many people make it seem easy, and one day I hope to be one of those people.
what I'm aiming to do isn't really static, or distance, but moreso just swimming. It seems a lot of the workouts I see are more for distance-- would this be the same kind of workout that I should be doing?
I am fortunate in that I have access to a 17ft deep pool right in front of the life guard, fins, floats, bricks, or anything. I have read up on the dangers of diving alone, pool and sw blackout (even with the guard watching), the guards seem a bit more competent here than at the neighborhood pool, not that I ever want to find out....
So what should I be doing at this point? I did a little research into O2/CO2 tables, and even walking apnea. I'm running (not too much), and of course swimming, getting used to fins. I make sure every dive I relax as much as possible. I probably won't use a monofin any time soon, although next time I swim i will definately work on undulation.
thanks for any suggestions. right now my static is around 2:20, and less than 50m for dynamic
