Learn the Basics of Freediving

 No previous freediving experience is required for our pool training sessions - we will run you through the basics of breath hold techniques, safety and freediving theory on the day

Our training sessions are conducted at the Bullring (Forster Ocean Baths) twice a month from mid November - February.

Freediving is about inward power, discipline and control. If you’ve always wanted to enter the underwater world quietly, on your own terms, staying as long as your breath allows, then freediving is for you.

To join us on our weekly or fortnightly training sessions you need to be 15 years old, a competent swimmer and comfortable in the water.

We encourage participants to bring something to throw on the communal BBQs after the sessions, as this is wonderful way to socialise and debrief after your pool training.

Price: $20
