alexeymolchanov People always ask why. Why keep doing this? Why keep pushing?

To be completely honest, I don’t know how not to. I’ve been in the water since I was 3 years old. Competing for most of my life. And absolutely loving it!

Pool has never been my main focus, and this was my first @aidafreediving Pool World Championship in 11 years.

Seeing the progress over the past year, especially in monofin, made me excited about the pool again. 323 meters later, I can say it was worth it 😄

Thank you for all the support 🤝

alexeymolchanov 100 days. 6-pack experiment. Week 1 💪

Does getting lean actually help in freediving... or can it make performance worse?

In a sport built on relaxation, oxygen, and recovery - pushing into a calorie deficit might not be as simple as it looks.

Over the next 100 days leading to the World Championship, I’ll be testing this on myself. Tracking not just how I look but what actually happens in the water.

No extremes. Just data.

👇What do you think? Will I make it? 😂

What is blackout?

A blackout in freediving is simply the body’s way of protecting itself, temporarily losing consciousness due to low oxygen levels, usually during the final meters of ascent.

Here’s the crucial part: competition is the SAFEST place for it to happen. With multiple trained safety divers, meticulous protocols, and constant monitoring, athletes receive immediate assistance at the very first signs of distress.

Blackouts are carefully managed, and are a well-understood part of the sport.

Freediving is about respecting limits and understanding safety above all else. When performed responsibly, it is not only breathtaking—it’s incredibly safe. Shoutout to all the safety divers out there, appreciate you A LOT 🙌
