Become a Molchanovs Junior Freediving Instructor


Are you a Molchanovs Lap or Wave 2 Instructor who loves sharing your passion of freediving with kids? Do you want to help grow the love of freediving to younger generations?

Then it’s time to become a Molchanovs Junior Freediving Instructor and create the next generation of freedivers! As a Junior Instructor, you can now teach children as young as 4 years old different swimming techniques, pool freediving disciplines, and depth freediving, both in courses and in training sessions after course completion.

The Junior Freediving Education Program is split into 3 different age groups with Discover, Lap, and Wave courses: Junior (4 - 7 y/o), Junior (8 - 11 y/o), Junior (12 - 15 y/o).

Unlike the Adult Wave freediving courses, the material covered in Junior Lap and Junior Wave courses are completely separate - a Junior Wave course does not include Junior Lap pool material.

Why teach Junior Freediving?

Reach a larger audience

Junior Instructors are no longer limited to adults - their target audience is now expanded to include children 4 years and older! A larger audience means more opportunities for new students (and more streams of income for you).

Expand the range of provided services

The Molchanovs Junior Freediving System encompasses a lot of courses - 20 extra courses if you become Junior Lap- and Wave-certified, in fact! And as children get older, they will continue on their freediving journeys with more courses and training, turning them into long-term junior students (and eventually - adult students!.

Target families

What do families like to do on vacation? Any activities that are fun for everyone! It’s hard to break up families for the adults to participate in a freediving course, but parents will be more likely to join if their children can also get involved. You can even organize special family trips for courses and training!

Positively affect children’s development

When children learn how to freedive, they gain muscle, improve their cardiovascular and respiratory health, discover mindfulness, develop healthy habits, and more! Sports training is vital for children’s physical and mental development, and now you can be an important part of it - especially by teaching them water safety.

Create more ocean lovers

The sea can use as many fans as it can get, and you can help! Showing children the ocean's wonders and marine life will inspire them to be more eco-conscious and become advocates for the ocean. Then, they can pass that passion to those around them and leave a long-lasting imprint on the world - all because of you.

I practice a holistic teaching approach that focuses on existential experiences can be very valuable for fostering personal growth and meaningful learning. I find that this approach allows students to connect their freediving education to their own lives and values.

I still believe in magic, and freediving for me is not about sport but about a fairy tale, another world - beautiful, unique. Underwater I find freedom, confidence, love for nature. Through freediving trainings I want to sure these meanings to children. Therefore, Junior freediving is about love for water, life and nature.
