hi guys, first post here. im 16 and ive just discovered freediving. ive started practicing at my local pool and with various breath excercises such as packing. however recently i have informed my parents of my plans to take up the sport and they have warned me that starting before im 21 (when supposedly my lungs will finish developing) will damage my lungs :naughty . i seem to remember them saying somthing about bursting the little alveoli in my lungs.
just wanted to know if you guys knew anything about the dangers of starting too young.
