How to Introduce Kids to Freediving (DiveWise)

Make sure you know how to freedive safely if you are going to try it.

 


Activities

Practise: Holding your breath

How long can you hold your breath for? Did you know that with practise, you can get better?

Try this: Every day for a week, practise holding your breath for as long as you can. Take a few deep breaths in and aaaall the way out before you practise to help you improve faster.

After a week, measure your time and see if you've improved!

Consume

 

When we eat or drink something, we consume it. The word consume is also used when we buy something, or when something is destroyed e.g. Consumed by fire.
