Very new to Freediving, I attend the monarch club with Dave King in Brighton/Hove. This is very much a club, as opposed to a training course/school.
Looking for advice on a beginners training routine to improve both static & dynamic with fins. Static PB: 2:15 Dynamic PB: 45m in a 25m pool with rubbish fins.
I swim 20 mins, 5 days a week in the morning at my gym... no diving buddy there as yet.. but working on it. also looking at taking up a weekly yoga class. I probably have about 1/2 hour at lunch and 1/2 hour in evenings for practice.
Can anyone suggest what to do and when? Tables, Walking apnea, empty lung apnea, dry statics.... there is a lot to take in and I'm not sure where to start?
I will be asking Dave at the club the same questions, but as with so many things in this sport there are many opinions to consider.

All help welcome
 
im new too... and i found if you just breath deeply and relax for about 5 min, i can hold my breath almost 2 min without difficulty... (my personal record is 2min 43 sec...) but im only 14, so u shud be able to manage more... your lung capacity is prolly WAAY more than mine...
have fun, and be safe!!:blackeye
