Looking for freediving buddy in Chicago

Hi,

I just got certified in SCUBA a few weeks ago and after watching some videos on youtube have become very interested in freediving. I'd like to find some people to train dynamic and static apnea with in a pool in Chicago or Evanston.

Re: Looking for freediving buddy in Chicago

You just found one, I im in nothwest suburbs close to Evanston, my buddy Jim is on the southside. As winter aproaches I will try to be in the pool at least twice a week for dynamic, the problem is I just got kick out from YMCA. Someone there had a blackout recently and as I was told I was the inspirator...they don't allow UW swimming with fins there anymore so I am looking for new pool now.

it's hard to believe but there is just a few of us in multimillion city like Chicago. That's OK, there is big freediving mafia in Wisconsin and we unite more and more

Excellent!!!

I am recovering from a cold but I would be great to meet-up sometime later next week (around 5 or 6pm would be my preferred time). I have no equipment as yet except goggles. I have been going to the Northwestern University pool (see link below for information). I have a membership since I work at Northwestern but I think you can get in for 8$. I have no idea how they feel about swimming with fins though.
