Molchanovs Gear Testing Centers

Your students want to try before they commit to a purchase. We want to help you make that possible

The Molchanovs Gear Testing Center is a selective partnership program designed for high-traffic freediving schools and training centers around the world. A small number of locations will be chosen to host a specific set of Molchanovs fins for hands-on testing, giving your students the confidence to invest in the right gear and your school a meaningful edge.

We provide. You test. Everyone benefits.

Selected schools receive a set of Molchanovs fins at no cost, available for students to try during courses, workshops, and training sessions. In return, your school earns cashback on every sale generated through your unique discount code—and your school gets featured on the Molchanovs website.

It's a partnership built on trust, shared values, and a commitment to growing the sport.

Testing Gear—Free of Charge

A curated selection of Molchanovs fins matched to your school's level and focus: SPORT and silicone fins for beginner-oriented schools, PRO line fins for training centers and competition organizers.

Updated Models

When we release new versions of a product, we'll update your testing set. Older models can continue to be offered for testing and sold by your school directly.

Featured on the Molchanovs Website

Your school will be listed as an official Gear Testing Center, making it easier for customers to find you.

Unique Discount Code

A code specific to your school gives your students 10% off their Molchanovs purchase and earn 10% cashback on every sale. The more your students love the gear, the more it pays off for your school.

Access to the NOT FOR SALE Collection

Gear Testing Center partners receive access to our exclusive NOT FOR SALE Collection—open even to non-Molchanovs schools.

  1. The Gear Testing Center partnership runs for an initial term of 14 months from the date the agreement is signed.
  2. Partners receive a unique discount code offering 10% off for customers and 10% cashback for the school on all sales generated through that code.
  3. A minimum sales target of 6,000USD must be reached within the partnership year. If the target is not met, Molchanovs reserves the right to discontinue the partnership.
  4. If the sales target is reached before major sales periods (such as Black Friday), the partner's discount code may be combined with active sitewide promotions.
  5. If the sales target is exceeded by 15% or more, Molchanovs will expand the partner's testing set with additional products, sizes, or models.
  6. When new versions of a product are released, Molchanovs will update the partner's testing set accordingly. Older models may continue to be offered for testing and can be sold by the school, but without warranty coverage.
  7. Partners are responsible for the proper care and storage of all testing gear in accordance with Molchanovs Equipment Care guidelines.
  8. Testing gear must be actively made available to students for hands-on testing—it may not be stored away or used exclusively by staff.
  9. Molchanovs may request at least one virtual check-in (via Zoom or equivalent) per year to review how the testing program is being run.
  10. Molchanovs reserves the right to conduct occasional in-person visits to assess how testing gear is presented, used, and stored.
  11. Molchanovs reserves the right to terminate the partnership if the terms above are not upheld.
