Huge Thank You to our friends in Montreal for saving the Cup this year!

It was, in fact, on the verge of cancellation due to student strike.

But we all made a History here: that was the largest women participation ever in AIDA Canada freediving competitions! And there was quite a spectacle to follow: the point spread between 1-st and 3-rd place in women overalls is only 1.4 with 0.3 points between 1-st and 2-nd place! This is where every single second and centimeter counted!

Freedive Toronto was represented by 7 people. All of them made new Personal Bests in various disciplines, even in DYN despite an odd pool length of 25.16 m!

Congratulations to all athletes and hope we will draw even more interest and we can break record of overall attendance next time!

It was an early rise for the Freediving National Championships organizers, crew and athlete this morning as they appeared in today’s Breakfast Television show with Sangita Patell and the LiveEye crew at the Etobicoke Olympium Pool. Under the watchful eye of Freedive Toronto President and AIDA Instructor Doug Sitter, Sangita faced her long-standing fear of water and attempted a breath-hold performance called static apnea, which is a discipline of freediving done on one breath of air, face down in the water without the exertion of movement. This discipline is measure of time spent on a breath-hold (also called sportive apnea). For a first timer, Sangita did really well in her attempt, reaching a personal best of 56 seconds.
