Kathryn McPhee 169m Dynamic no-fins

[efattah]

I wanted to say congratulations to Kathryn on what surely is one of the greatest pool freediving performances of all time!

I feel honored to have had a chance to spot her on a dive at Vertical Blue 2008.

Now if she can figure out what is limiting her in the ocean, she can challenge the men's record in CWNF (currently 86m)....

169? Good god that's unreal. Congratulations!

Wow! That is amazing! Congratulations as well!

 

[BennyB]

Holy Crap!!! I'm stunned...

Impressive yes - but actually what Kathryn did today was a 169 Dynamic with fin, not DNF as stated by the newsbot.

What is impressive also - is Kathryn holds all the Womens NZ national records.

Guy Brew also gained a new national record today with a 8:05 Static

Very exciting competition all round!

Hi, there's been a bit of confusion: 169m DYN (not DNF! - I wish!!!)

 

[KatFish]

Thanks for the support though guys - we'll see how the next few months go...

Congrats Kathryn and Guy to your new NRs!
Wish I would have come to see (video) it today, too!
I was attempting a new record in free immersion into my couch instead. (ouch). Keep up!

Although the 169m DNF was a typo Kathryn looked fine at the end of her 150m swim, so with another turn and pushoff.....
