  • Monofins for Freediving
    Monofins for Freediving We have been intermittently following the debate concerning the use of the monofin in freediving and would like to share some of our findings. Two years ago we put together the first experimental monofin/freedive clinic where we assembled some unique elements. We put together the leading trainers in monofin swimming, namely the Russian coaches from Tomsk university, who train both the Russian national team and their chief rivals, the Chinese, the leading specialist monofin manufacturer belonging to the same school and a group of freedivers which represented the best cross-section, from the very top of freediving competition to the very novice. This same group also represented advanced freedivers who already had experience with the monofin, advanced freedivers who had never used a monofin and a novice freediver with no experience of the monofin. Although the number of freedivers involved was small we feel that with a larger group the conclusions would have been much the same. The objectives were to find (i) What style and why? (ii) What rhythm and amplitude of movement? (iii) What kind of monofin and what stiffness of blade and if this was individual what the relevant criteria for monofin choice should be? (iv) What compromises and adaptations had to be made to suit the specific needs of the freediver? (v) What was the best training method for the monofin freediver. What style and why? We had heard a lot of talk concerning adaptations of the ‘classic ’style that freedivers should adopt. I know from personal acquaintance that some of the people recommending various adaptations were not capable of demonstrating a good classic style hence their recommendations were from lack of ability in the monofin and hence lack of choice through limited ability.
