A pool filled of mermaids

The club where Eva and Maria train in Copenhagen, USG, is a very interesting mix of freediving and swimming, hard core training and fun. Their coatch has a reputation of making some exausting programs and a loud voice to make everybody get moving in order to get it done.

I was training with the club once before, so I knew what to expect: 25-75m dives in sets of 3-5 with short breaks and different styles (no fins, no fins with no legs, short fins etc. And NO neckweight). We also did some regular swimming, and with the kick board and pull bouys.


In the end of the session I was helping Eva and Maria out a little with showing some new guys monofin technic. One of the very cool things about this club is the number of members, more than 50 if I remember right. And more is coming. So hopefully there will be more and more upcoming freedivers from the city of the mermaid soon :)

  1. Yes! We are aiming for that. We just had a few max sessions, where people were going for 85-90% of their targets (supposed to be reached by Christmas) and the dives went really, really well! I have been having a few weeks off, but this is so motivating! And the social atmosphere is awesome.

    You know, you are welcome any time :-)
