Upon completing one of our six-week pool training programs, we can guarantee that you will see evidence of:

  • Increased max breath hold

These sessions are perfect for freedivers who are looking to gain confidence in the water, develop their freediving knowledge and for those looking to build the skills to take freediving to a professional level.

HOW IT WORKS?

Every Tuesday from 7pm -9pm, we will have dedicated lanes at UNSW Aquatic Centre to perform our freediving pool training sessions led by one of Freediving Central experienced Instructors. Each session will be tailored to each individual’s experience and goals for the training block to ensure fun easy progression.

20 Minutes before training commences, we will hold a breathwork and stretch session to ensure you are relaxed and ready for training.
