Just curios about the freedivers training.

Hi there i was reading on the different approaches and techniques use by the top freedivers for their training outside of the yoga and breathing exercises.

And i didn't see anybody mention SWIMMING, at all, i know they spend an awfull amount of time in the water already, but must of their training is running, cycling, and things like this.

Any reason for this or just sheer luck.

I'll say that I don't swim because I'm a horrible swimmer! I can barely make it across a 50m pool on the surface! I'm much more comfortable underwater.
