- Biography
- I am 37 and trying very hard to get back into shape after a back injury that I have been dealling with for over 10 years. I became fascinated with freediving after I saw the movie The Big Blue back in the 80's. It was only in the last 4 years that I purchased my first monofin and started seeing how far I could swim with one breath. Without any formal training I got to the point where I could swim 2 and a half lengths of an olympic swimming pool with one breath so I decided it was time to start swimmming deep. I went to one of the fresh water springs in Florida that I knew was 85 feet deep and there was pletty of scuba divers around if I got into trouble. Neadless to say I made it to the bottom on my first try but suffered for a week with ear aches because I didnt know how the equalize properly. THat was 2 years ago and I havent done much over the last year and a half due to a move from Florida to Virginia and an increase in back problems but I am back at it again at the local pool.
