100 meters dynamic no fins no neckweight no weightbelt

I did this on Feb 27, 2008. The pool is called "Happyland" and is located close to the town of Klosterneuburg, Austria. Many thanks to the filmcrew (I am teasing, actually it was only Gerd Wohlfromm filming and spotting me at the same time. I told him to drop the camera first in case I need his help. Well, I did get in trouble, but only for a brief moment.

I'm just wondering how you glide too near stopping, without floating up? Are u not suppose to completely fill your lungs? Cause I can get 50m but I feel like I'm constantly having to swim downward at a fast pace to keep from floating up.

@xDeadlyxShotxGaming Without a neckweight the only way to "gain" weight is by diving as deep (as close to the bottom) as you can. Just consider the fact that 3 mt (10 feet ) below the water you are 1-2 kg (2-4 pounds) heavier as at the surface.

Where was help in the end when he nearly drowned? Good job recovering on your own, but NEVER do that again without safety spotter

[Gerald56]

Hi Ronioc

The filmer was also the spotter. Had I lingered for only 2 more seconds he would have dropped the camera to help me.

@Gerald56 Your arm stroke is wrong, your frog kick is wrong, your stroke count is wrong, you rush at the end is wrong and your spotter is dumb... yet the distance is very impressive despite all this. Get some formal training and you could reach 150 easily...well done.

@nasriozel

thanks !

[lobin666]

impressive but gerald, mate! please get a new spotter. what the hell was he thinking?? 2:16 after just doing 100 metres DNF he really thinks that you want to stick your head back under and hold your breathe some more! you look like you almost blacked out there? he should have been over like a shot and pulling you out.

take care and be safe!

Dude you get your technique down and you will crush. Going 100 with that high of a stroke count impressive indeed.

[xDeadlyxShotxGaming]

@Gerald56 thanks!

@Gerald56 You could hear the camera guy laughing! You need better spotters! That guy didn't recognize samba. He's an idiot!

I'm glad you were able to recover on your own.

Man!Amphibious man is real!

[valessakis]

@Gerald56 the camera man did ask the other what is happening , the people that are there must know everything if it happens cpr and after blackout techniques , that is the reason so many accidents happened in this beautiful sport .......ignorance

[valessakis]

man that is stupid no safety rules , you need a spotter if you blackout , you sould follow the rules man for your own safety

[knixGobbel]

Yes...lucky he didn't get water in his lungs...

[Paul51088]

klasse!! gratuliere!

wie lange kannst du ohne bewegung die luft anhalten?

[VpVanja]

was that a short blackout at the end?

[clcgurl]

thats very impressive!

i wish i cud do tht coz it wud so fun to free dive...for a long time :)

[TheScrotrot]

Sweet blackout at the end man, that's the way it should be.

[controlp41]

great dive, bad spotter (you needed help there at the end).

[yugiohmainiac]

wow i can do something like 50meters

[woodywidstyle1236]

wow amazing i can do 25m only but im young

[AidaUkraine]

Good Work! But You got not so good end!!! And if you do that at Concurance or something like that you will be removet frome it quick..That was danger what you do. And if you dive 75 meter how i saw that was easy for you.. that will be better mate. And after that just train it easy up..So nex time u make 100m easy. Best Apnoe/Freediving its always safe.!!!! Remember that guys!!!

[HIFKhockey90]
