During our Nipper Lifeguard training, the participants normally learn about beach safety, work on improving their swimming skills, and practice rescue techniques.
But today was a special day! Katy Sakurra, a Russian freediver, came to speak to us about freediving. The kids were excited and ask a lot of questions, wanting to know more about this sport.
Katy showed us her equipment and explained the benefits of monofins and long fins.
After all the explanations she gave us a demonstration in the pool. The Nippers were impressed and were excited to try it.
Katy brought monofins for kids and so the Nippers turn into mermaids.
With Katy's instructions, the kids swam and dove in the pool. It was a lot of fun. The Nippers liked it so much, that they didn't want to leave the pool and continue with the beach training.
Only with the promise that we will do some freediving in the future together with Katy in the ocean were we able to continue the Nipper Program on the beach.
Thank you, Katy, for this fantastic hour and this new experience!
