"On one breath"

Few pics from hell of a good action in Prague. Freediving for public called "On one breath" took place last Sunday in Suchdol swimming pool.



More than 80 people "hungry" for information visited the event. Some of them with masks and fins, some of them with only swim suit and towell, got the basic info from the best czech and slovak freedivers.

Theory is basic. This group under supervision of Martin Zajac

... and this one with Radek Veverka and Josef Zbynek

.. and Martin Petrisko

Martin Petrisko (2nd place in WC in Denmark 2009), Martin Zajac (slovak NR holder in DYN 2009), Radek Veverka and Josef Zbynek - also hell of a good freedivers, but it's complicated to be NR holder in Czech, while we have Martin Stepanek :-)


Beside the public event, there was also a small competition on which I was trying to beat my PB in STA (7:12) and I ...... did not manage. Not listening to my freediving guru Linda, I owerpacked myself and felt from the very beginning like baloon. So I surfaced on 6:51 swearing like a trooper ..... and missed the protocol on one second. And I had pretty decent samba on top of it. But everyone around had a lot of fun.

Seconds after samba ...i'm, i'mmm ...O..key

Smiling at the red card ... I'm definitely not OK.

Slovak NR "hunter" Michal Risian got after Sunday two more trophies: STA 6:21 and DNF 151m
But the most important thing is, that there where tens of people trying to hold their breath under water and enjoying the freediving. Maybe a new Martin Stepanek was amongs them. :-)

Everybody is having fun, fun, fun.
