Dive into the depths with confidence and learn the art of freediving from former world champion, Kathryn Nevatt, at Alpine Aqualand pool in Queenstown this summer. Join our Introduction to Freediving course and discover the underwater world like never before.
Join us for an informative full-day pool-based course that covers the fundamental concepts of freediving, from theory and technique to safety. You'll gain an all-round understanding of freediving basics, to gain confidence in and improved enjoyment of the water. Learning will include:
- Freediving equipment, why we use it, what to look for when purchasing, and effective use of it
- Physiology of the freediver
- Dangers of freediving & staying safe
- Breathing techniques
- Static apnea (time-based breath-holding) to learn breath hold technique and see how long you can hold your breath
- Dynamic apnea (distance-based breath-holding) to see how far can swim while holding your breath
- Swimming with fins technique
- Basic/safe equalization techniques
- Buddy safety, and much more
