Hello!
Seeing if there is any interest in a freediving training club / evening in north or east London? I live in Leyton / Walthamstow and over an hour on the tube is a bit much to get to the established clubs in South London. So I was thinking of contacting a pool and booking some lanes one night a week for static and dynamic training.

Anyone interested in joining?

I am Level 3 (SSI) qualified but not an instructor (yet). Don't want to lose my breath hold just because i'm land locked in the city :)
 
Hi,

I'm in Wapping, (it's between the city and canary wharf), and about AIDA 2-3 star level.

Would be very interested in any club in North/East london!

At the moment I do static and dynamic training at St Georges Leisure Centre (E1W 3BP). It's 33m and the lifeguards are OK with training within your comfort zone.
 
Hey guys,

I just finished my AIDA ** course and I am also looking for somewhere to train.

@AjayT do you go there regularly?

Hi Karima,

really nice to see your post!

Yep, I go there regularly, only live 200m away. It's very quiet in off peak times, and not so crowded otherwise.

Am doing my ADIA ** this weekend, so will be more competent to buddy after that. Had to stop training due to work thus it might not go that great - damn the open water feels really cold now?

If you're not maxing out and within your comfort zone, I'd be happy to help out/buddy after this weekend?
