Key Details Minimum age: 10 Location: St Martins, Oswestry Maximum training depth: 5 m / 15 ft Session time: Monday evenings, 7:30pm What to Expect Your session starts with a warm welcome and an introduction to the fundamentals of freediving, covering safety considerations, breathing techniques and how to use the provided equipment correctly. You’ll learn about equalisation, streamlining your body in the water, and conserving oxygen through relaxed movement. The instructor will guide you through each step, ensuring you feel confident before moving into the practical element.
