Hi there,
I have just started freediving in the last couple of weeks and would like some advice.
- Are fins really essential when practising in the pool?
I only ask because I don't intend to dive outdoors until I build up both my strength and confidence. (Jon71 refers to my birth year, not max depth achieved.....unless someone throws me in the atlantic with concrete round my legs.)
I have done a couple of pool sessions so far and broke a fin in the last session. I actually did much better without them....work that one out??
So far I have managed a 50metre swim in a 25 metre pool, along the bottom without fins (With the fins it was pretty similar.)
Any advice on how to improve strength, breath holding etc would be appreciated. I will scan previous threads though to pick up any gems!
Cheers
Jon
