We’re not all born into freediving like Alexey Molchanov with one of the most beautiful styles, built from years in the water since childhood. We all come with a background. Cycling. Running. Fighting. Other sports. Your body is already programmed in a certain way. And that matters. Those patterns can be an advantage… or they can hold you back if you don’t adapt them. Don’t confuse style with technique. Style is how it looks. Technique is what actually works. Muscle memory in finning is built, not given. Start simple: • Surface — body flat, arms forward, clean propulsion • Hips — the real engine, not the knees • Vertical — arms forward, look up, control the line • Add weight — become negative and build true mechanics This is where the shift happens. You stop forcing. You start flowing. Your past doesn’t define your limits… it defines what you need to adjust. Build the right pattern and the water does the rest. #freediving #apnea #freedivers #freedivingart #freediver
