Make the most of training in the pool
How to make your pool training sessions more efficient and develop your skills in a way that shows up in real dives.
The pool is a safe environment for learning and experimentation, and every minute is a direct investment in your performance in the sea.
What distinguishes the pool as a training environment
The controlled environment allows you to focus on one skill rather than managing all the sea variables at the same time.
Basic exercises in the pool
Sliding exercise
Push the wall and slide still as long as possible. Develops body posture and reduces resistance.
Neutral Buoyancy Exercise
Stay at a constant depth without using the fins using only your hand. Develops flotation vest control and breathing.
Removing water from the mask and putting it back on
A basic emergency exercise that improves your confidence in your equipment.
Advanced Pool Challenges
- Swim 25 meters in one breath with fins. Then without it
- Holding your breath at the bottom of the pool while focusing on relaxation
- Move horizontally with eyes closed to develop physical sensation of water
The swimming pool is not a substitute for the sea, but it is the school that makes every dive in the sea better.
