FreedivingX is Evolving: Training Smarter, Going Deeper
Hi FreedivingX crew, I’ve been a little quiet lately and that was intentional. I took some time to recover from a cold and a bit of burnout, but more importantly, to step back and really look at FreedivingX. What it needs to become. How it can grow. And how it can best serve both aspiring and active freedivers who want to improve with purpose, not just grind for numbers. One thing became very clear: education matters. The more we understand the physics, physiology, and technique behind freediving, the more empowered we are in the water. Knowledge turns mystery into skill and skill into confidence. So moving forward, I’ll be adding structured freediving education into FreedivingX. This will include theory from Level 1 through Level 3 freediving courses, along with focused topics like equalization, monofin technique, and other fundamentals that quietly make a huge difference. I’ll start rolling out theory videos in February, designed to be practical, clear, and directly applicable to your training. FreedivingX LIVE training isn’t going anywhere. It will now run every other Saturday morning, and the best part: these sessions will be open to everyone in the group. No gatekeeping. Just shared training and shared progress. Our first open training session kicks off next Saturday, Feb 7. And once turnout grows, I plan to add more sessions, building toward 1 to 2 trainings per week. I’ve already mapped out next Saturday’s session and it’s a fun one: breath-holds with movement. Controlled, creative, and very on-brand for what we’re building here. Thanks for sticking around while this next chapter takes shape. FreedivingX is evolving and you’re part of that evolution. More soon.

Saturday February 7, 2026
To all the fish (72 Members) in this group: check out the calendar here! This is the date and time when Renee is running a new freediving training session! I can tell from experience - her knowledge and skills are amazing - she helped the members of the 2 groups of last year quite a bit - for me it was more than doubling the time of breathhold! :) If you have time - come on and join! The more the merrier! Just because Renee doesn't charge doesn't mean it has no value! What else could one possibly do on a saturday??? ;) PS - talking about the more - if everybody sends out one invite to their diving buddies we could become a really great community - sharing tips and locations of cool diving spots in the respective home country (just a thought).

My Introduction
Hi everyone! My name is Sergey, Im from Minsk, Belarus 🤍❤️🤍 I love to swim and freedive, and I really enjoy that 😍 I want to become a professional freediver and a real master with all its aspects, and become eventually an elite freediving athlete and compete on both local and international championships, maybe even score world records!😍😍😍 Freediving is my real passion for me, and a purpose I feel to achieve. Right now I'm training mostly dynamic disciplines. I have 3 pool trainings a week for each DYN style: a DYN one, a DYNb one, and a DNF one. I'm currently focusing on DYNb and DNF as I hope to compete and score real good results in them. I'd also love to train and maybe even compete in STA, but unfortunately have no time for STA training😥 Depth is not what I'm looking for right now, I'm able to get to 30+m in any style I want with pure comfort, but overall depth doesn't really attract me so far... I believe there are 3 biggest (and intertwined) challenges that severely hinder my progress and results. The 1st one is the severe😡 hypercapnia response I have. Neither general 'urge to breathe' nor contractions (which I absolutely tolerate no matter how hard they are, and I have the strongest contractions amongst freedivers in my freediving club!) are hardly the challenge. The challenge are random and severe 'hypercapnia locks' that I experience through the long dives or STA attempts - it feels like my body is trying to take control from me, and push me to the surface, with overall panic and a state of the intense inner fight, and the worst part that I can't do anything about it, neither relax nor concentrate on technique. Because of that, I always end my dives, even competition ones, far from the results I know I can do without this reaction, and I never get even slightly hypoxic. This incredibly frustrates and angers me, along with numbers not good enough both by my abilities and the overall scoring amongst fellow athletes, and my Christmas wish is to become able to fully meet my side that doesn't quit, so I won't quit no matter what I feel, unless I detect severe hypoxia myself...
