Today is day 1 of my 2022 freediving season. It’s been almost two weeks since the Freediving World Cup competition, which marked the end of my 2021 season, and now I’m excited to apply all of the new insights I’ve learned throughout this year. Today I begin base training, starting with a swimming training session, designed by my coach Florian Dagoury. This training is aimed to stretch the ribcage, train the muscles to use O2 slower with less lactic, providing a mild CO2 workout. I like it because it also gets you super fit!!
Here is the outline for the swimming session:
