How to Freediving
Starting Position
1. Make sure you are aware of your surroundings and any potential hazards.
2. Listen to your body and take frequent breaks if you need to.
3. Stay hydrated and make sure you are well-nourished before diving.
4. Be aware of the pressure changes that occur during a dive and take the necessary precautions.
Proper Form
1. Push off powerfully from the floor and dive forward, extending your arms out in front of you.
2. As you move through the water, use your arms to pull yourself forward in a streamlined position.
3. Keep your body as straight and parallel to the surface as possible.
4. When you reach the end of the dive, turn around and return to the starting point.
Breathing Technique
1. Take a deep breath in before each dive.
2. Exhale slowly and steadily as you move through the water.
3. Keep your breathing relaxed and controlled.
4. Take a deep breath in before you surface from the dive.
Precautions
