DNF Puzzles | Perfect Buoyancy in DNF

DNF Puzzles | Perfect Buoyancy in DNF

Perfect buoyancy transforms freediving. It enhances your glide, reduces drag, and optimizes energy use. Dialing in weights for your lung volume and packing can improve posture and streamline performance. Even a 250g adjustment can make a big difference in DNF.

Week 20 | Summary ✌️

Week 20 | Summary ✌️

Last week was all about recovery and prep: light depth dives, stretching for flexibility, and rest before competition. Highlights included a 3:26 FIM dive with long hang and a challenging 105m DNF dive without a wetsuit. Proud to earn a white card for both!

Flexibility is key in Dynamic No Fins, improving glide, posture, and efficiency. Poor flexibility can limit movement and relaxation, increasing drag. A 15-20 min daily stretch routine can reduce stiffness, boost muscle elasticity, and even aid lung volume. Invest in flexibility!

Mastering Dynamic No-Fins is about balancing power and relaxation. Arm strokes drive propulsion, with phases like the catch, glide, and reset. Practice with video analysis, isolated drills, and core focus. Refine often—small tweaks matter!

16-Weeks Journey Recap: Training Data Visualized and Analysed 📊📈

16-Weeks Journey Recap: Training Data Visualized and Analysed 📊📈

Tracking and visualising my freediving data has been essential for gaining real insights into my progress and ensuring I stay on the right path. By analysing key metrics such as distance, apnea time, and success rates, I’ve gained clarity on areas to improve. Here’s a look at how it went.

Week 17 | Summary 🟥+✌️

Week 17 | Summary 🟥+✌️

This week taught me valuable lessons in both training and mindset. After a challenging competition attempt, I realised the importance of rest and quality sleep before pushing for max dives. Focused on refining my technique, I discovered a smoother arm-leg rhythm and gained fresh motivation.

Pool trainings approach poll

Pool trainings approach poll

Reflecting on my self-guided approach to reaching 150m DNF, I explored how others train through a poll. This poll will help to understand why do some work with a coach while others prefer self-training? What’s the ideal approach at different performance levels?

DNF Puzzles | Mastering efficient glide

DNF Puzzles | Mastering efficient glide

A smooth DNF glide is key to freediving efficiency: fewer strokes, more relaxation, and lower oxygen use. I break down glide phases—turns, kicks, strokes—and share tips to improve: body position, flexibility, and hydrodynamics.

Week 16 | Summary 🟥 + 0️⃣6️⃣:0️⃣0️⃣ STA ✌️🎉

Week 16 | Summary 🟥 + 0️⃣6️⃣:0️⃣0️⃣ STA ✌️🎉

This week in freediving: Reached a PB of 6:00 STA 🎉, improved DNF efficiency (1.5 moves/25m), and learned a vital lesson after a failed 123m dive. Key takeaway? Relaxation is key, and it’s better to surface early than push through a flawed dive.

Week 15 | Summary 1️⃣1️⃣7️⃣m DNF✌️🎉

Week 15 | Summary 1️⃣1️⃣7️⃣m DNF✌️🎉

This week, I embraced calm and mindfulness in freediving, focusing on joy over performance. A slower pace, conscious actions, and intentional routines led to a surprising PB of 117m. The key? Relaxation, presence, and trust in the process. Sometimes, slowing down accelerates growth.
