Bifinning Fundamentals

Whether you’re just starting out or wanting to refine your movement, Bifinning Fundamentals is designed for anyone who wants smoother, more efficient, and more confident technique in the water.

You’ll benefit from this program if:

• Your kicks feel clumsy, tiring, or inefficient
• You’re unsure if your technique is helping or hurting your dives
• You’ve completed a freediving course, but still don’t feel confident
• You snorkel or shoot underwater photo/video, and want better control
• Your turns feel inconsistent or slow
• You’re preparing for deeper dives and want more power with less effort

If any of these describe you, this program will give you the structure and clarity your technique is missing.

Bifinning Fundamentals gives you a complete system for developing efficient bifin technique—from foundational mechanics to advanced control. Across 8 guided video sessions, you’ll learn how to:

• Refine your form for more hydrodynamic movement
• Increase body awareness to improve precision and balance
• Kick with more control and less wasted energy
• Improve amplitude, relaxation, and overall flow
• Turn efficiently at the wall or at depth
• Extend your dive times with better efficiency

Inside the program, you’ll find:

• Drills for posture, orientation, and alignment
• Training for amplitude, power, and relaxation
• Techniques for turns, transitions, and smoother movement
• Tips for conserving energy and optimizing dive time
• Full-body workouts that directly support bifin performance
• A repeatable structure you can revisit anytime

You’ll finish the program with a clear understanding of how to train your bifins—and why each detail of your movement matters.

A structured, accessible program built for real progress—whether you’re in the pool, preparing for depth, or wanting better recreational control.
