As Covid-19 spreads around the world and in our local communities, we should do everything we can to help stop the spread. This means staying at home as much as possible, and social distancing when you need to go out. Even though for most of us this means we can't train in the conventional way in the pool or ocean, we can look at this as an opportunity to let our bodies rest, and take the time to learn more about the other aspects of freediving that affect training and performance. Here are a few good resources that you can use to brush up on your knowledge of everything freediving.
