a couple of guys have mentioned they found depth training good for improving bottom time. can this be achieved by diving to say 10m and holding slowly increasing the time at that depth or is just about max depth

AFC main pool training night is Mondays at the Tepid Baths (jumping in the spa afterwards adds a "lets plan a spearfishing trip" dimension to things at times ... )
 
And there are two smaller groups that train Wednesdays at West Wave Henderson and also the pool at Panmure.  West Wave is not happening this week
 
Depth sessions are at Lake Pupuke Thursdays after work during daylight saving (along with some ad hoc "let's go lunchtime or on a weekend" sessions outside daylight saving).
 
 
 
The safety induction is useful because it then means that all new members have the same level of understanding / practice as they will at times have to act as safety for another club member.

I like the sound of a safety induction.

Cool cheers for that. I thought AFC was based and done all their training In town.

As i-Spear says ... Auckland Freediving Club has a group at West Wave Wednesdays 7pm - 8pm (prior to underwater hockey).  Weightless from here drives this mostly.
 
Before you turn up to a session at West Wave you would need to have done a pool safety induction (these are run first Monday of the month at the Tepid Baths in town).
 
More info:  http://www.aucklandfreediving.co.nz/Join-The-Auckland-Freediving-Club 
 
There is also Underwater Rugby at West Wave on Sundays 5pm - 6pm.

Cool, interesting article thanks. Yes, I can see how specific depth training would have an advantage over pool sessions. Something I will look at doing sometime in the near future. In the meantime however, I am getting good results from my pool sessions so will continue those as they're much better than doing nothing.]]> Wed, 07 May 2014 18:37:33 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=100096&PID=1445610&title=dynamic-pool-training#1445610 <![CDATA[Dynamic / Pool training. : Pool training definitely helps...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=100096&PID=1445514&title=dynamic-pool-training#1445514 Author: Weightless

Pool training definitely helps with in the water, but I have found nothing quite beats depth training though.  Diving deeper normally brings on a more positive dive response and the changing partial pressure can feel quite different and getting used to this will translate to longer spearing dives. 

Personally, I have added just under a minute to my spearing dives over the last a year and this was mainly due to regular lake training. I had been pool training for a year and a half prior to this but didn't find this translated quite the same way.

On a related note Gemma Cookson has just written up an article on how freedive training has helped her spearing and other sports.  This can be found at http://www.aucklandfreediving.co.nz/gemma-cookson

Thanks Barx. 

This is my first venture into breath hold training but even after just a few sessions I've noticed a significant improvement in my capabilities. Not sure how this translates to the water, but since doing just a few of these sessions I've improved my at home static from roughly 3mins 30 to just over 5mins. And definitely found my breath hold in the water has improved a lot.
