Hi all, it's been long time since i've posted here on DB, unfortunatly i'm a lot busy in organizing course and event here in italy.
Sunday 11 March 2012 in Rome has started for the second year the Apnea Academy Italian Tour, it consist in 7 (4 indoor and 3 outdoor) competition organized in different cities all over Italy.
the first competition was in Rome in Salaria Sport Village 50 mt pool, the only disciplines ware DYN and DNF. The competition has seen 96 athlets!!! The number has been limted for timing problems, infact after the competition there was a conference with Umberto Pelizzari, Davide Carrera and Alessandro Rignani Lolli.
The nice thing of this Italian tour is that: the most important thing is to go in pool and have fun withouth taking care of your performance, infact lot of people did around 50 to 80 metres, the concept is go in a competition that is more like a meeting where you have fun with friends and meet new people wthouth caring about distance, infact the athlet has extra point depending not only how far he went but also consdering his tecquiche, assect and how clean was his exit. This idea of giving extra points came from the consideration that this tour has been created for people that start a freediving course and wanna feel the emotion of being a real athlet for a day withouth caring about thy're performance, infact the most important thing is seeing big smile on peoples faces!!! Some photos can seen here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3649552681303.169805.1349062980&type=3
that's the event ad:
