In Maribor we have started regular freediving training for primary school children and young people.
Registrations are open; the first training session for children is already on Monday, 7 September, followed by Wednesday, 9 September.
Children get to know diving through play and various exercises, progressing safely and learning the correct techniques. The training sessions allow them to practise the sport regularly and progress gradually. If your child is interested, they are welcome to come to their first training session for free and see whether it suits them. Registrations are possible until all places are filled.

FREEDIVING COURSE FOR PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN
In Maribor and Ljubljana we also regularly organise freediving courses (2 h of theory + 2 h of pool exercises), where children learn the basics of safe diving and the correct techniques. They learn how to use the ABC equipment correctly (mask, snorkel, fins) and master the basics of correct breathing, preparation before a dive and equalisation. They also learn the basics of the physics of the water environment, the importance of looking after their dive buddy, what to watch out for when diving in the sea, and everything else they need to dive safely and correctly.
After the course, we give each parent individual advice on how to keep their child safe, set appropriate limits and support them in their further development.
We regularly publish available dates on our website: Freediving for primary school children
If you would like to be notified about new dates or sign up for the course, write to info@h2oteam.com.
