Freediving Finning Technique

Freediving Finning Technique | 2 Practical Exercises for Beginner Freedivers

The Freediving Finning Technique guide is a practical resource designed to help beginner freedivers develop a more efficient, smooth, and relaxed finning technique. Through two simple yet highly effective exercises, this guide teaches how to improve movement quality, increase underwater distance, and reduce energy and oxygen consumption during dynamic apnea sessions.

Created by Francesco Cordone for Underwater Academy, the guide explores the fundamental elements of proper finning technique, including streamlined body position, fin kick amplitude, glide phase, muscular relaxation, and propulsion continuity. Each exercise includes detailed instructions, specific objectives, common mistakes to avoid, and the benefits that can be achieved through regular practice.

The guide also includes important safety recommendations and reminds readers that the exercises presented are intended as supplementary educational material and do not replace the official manuals, standards, procedures, or practical training provided by recognized Training Agencies. An ideal resource for freediving courses, pool training sessions, and anyone wishing to refine their finning technique and improve overall efficiency in the water.
