Blue Sole Freediving
One Breath… enjoy the moment
Welcome to Blue Sole Freediving
Hello and welcome to Blue Sole Freediving Club. We are a friendly bunch of freedivers based out of the Dolphin Leisure Centre, Poole, Dorset, BH15 1TN.
We welcome any freedivers over 18 years old with a recognised freediving qualification from agencies such as AIDA, SSI, PADI or Molchanov. If you don’t yet have a freediving qualification, please check out www.freedive.life for courses on the south coast.
Club Nights
We run sessions every Tuesday, open to all, subject to space and prior booking.
Tuesdays
For beginners to advanced, the sessions focus on improving comfort in the water, finning technique, static’s, dynamic’s, buddy safety, games and fitness.
Training Activities
Improving Technique
Club members are on hand to share tips, check your finning technique, your turns, body position etc. We also have a GoPro available from time to time so we can film you and show you your performance.
Static Apnea
Static apnea is a pool discipline in which a freediver holds their breath face down in the water for as long as possible while their face is under water and their body is floating on the surface.
Dynamic Apnea
Includes a number of pool disciplines
-
- DYN – Dynamic With Fins
- DNF – Dynamic No Fins
In each case you hold your breath and swim horizontal under the water.
Buddy Safety
When buddied correctly pool freediving is a safe sport, so we carry out buddy training to ensure that each member can safely buddy other members.
Games
Games are a great way to improve breath hold and have some fun at the end of the session, so these are incorporate into training.
Fitness
Relaxation is typically more important that fitness in freediving however a basic level of fitness is required so we incorporate drills focused on fitness into our weekly sessions
What are the benefits of freediving?
Meeting fun people
Freediving is a great opportunity to meet with other people, make friends and share adventures.
Exploring Lakes and Oceans
With freediving all you just is a mask, snorkel, fins, a weight belt and maybe a wetsuit and your free to explore kelp forests, quarries and shipwrecks all located on the south coast.
Calming & Restorative
When freediving you live in the moment the stresses of life wash away, and moving through the water helps to ease muscles from our often sedimentary lives.
Water Confidence and Safety
Once you learn to freedive you learn how to relax in the water, and feel confident in your breath hold. For example if your a surfer then knowing you can comfortably hold your breath in the waves will stop you from panicking.
