I hope there will be some videos from this record attempt. I will post them here as soon as they will be available online.
Well, as I count correctly 10 people from team used monofins. Some of them sometimes switched to bi-fins due to leg condition. Although the others are using bi-fins just two of bi-finners are using scissor kicking style, others are using monofin style.
For statistics we have a pre-programmed excel sheet, so we have all laps well documented. The fastest lap was 21.89 seconds by Tomaš Hlaváč it was done with laminate bi-fins. The slowest lap was 51 seconds and this one with monofin.
All participants were members of our team, there were no guests from other teams.
Sleeping and eating was self organized. I think everybody found some quiet place at the pool where he could take a rest. Nobody was complaining and nobody missed his leg of swimming so I thik this went ok. In case of eating we had this 12 hours test, so everybody know what to eat and drink to survive without any harm. Before 12 hours attempt this question what to eat was a bit unknown territory because nobody had experience with such event.
Needful things was doubled. We had two notebooks with excel programs. For comparison of covered distance we had a hand written statistics. We had two people on the side of the pool to keep an eye on freedivers.
Now we will try to make some detailed statistics about overal progression and average speeds of each freediver. I will post them here as they will be available.
