Week 26 | Summary 1️⃣2️⃣5️⃣m DNF 🎉✌️

A Week of Freediving Progress

This week marked another chapter of solid progress in my freediving journey. I didn’t set out to hit any personal records—no plans for maximal dives, just a focus on feeling good in the water and staying consistent with my practice. My approach was simple: breathe for three minutes, and start with full lungs plus 10 packs (a little motivational boost, considering many of my previous 109m dives were done without any packing).

Right from the start, everything felt smooth. I was fresh and comfortable up to 100m, and after the final turn, I removed my nose clip and decided to go a little further. Just three more strokes later, I touched the wall at 125m DNF 1️⃣2️⃣5️⃣m 🎉✌️. That dive was extremely pleasant. My glides were long, my technique felt spot-on, the turns were both calm and strong, and overall, I was completely relaxed.

I can also feel the benefits of my extra training sessions at the gym and pool. My arms and legs are noticeably stronger, my feet have become more flexible and streamlined, and hitting 25m in just three movements (two leg kicks and one arm stroke) now feels completely natural.

What made that 125m dive even more special was the fact that I hadn’t slept well the night before. Yet, my body and mind were in sync enough to push through. Later in the week, during my third training session, I found myself going beyond expectations again—this time reaching 123m DNF without planning to.

What really makes me proud isn’t just the numbers but the consistency I’ve built into my process. I’m diving with more awareness and focus than ever before, and that’s where the real progress lies.
