GUINNESS WORLD RECORD

competitions Nov 17, 2023

We did it! 🥇

On a rainy Friday morning, after just four hours of restless sleep, the journey to a Guinness World Record unfolded. Surrounded by the chaos of energetic kids and the unwavering support of my incredible husband and superwoman freediver Jordy, the stage was set. A quick drive to the pool, a profound moment with Joe, and the soundtrack of Sia's "Unstoppable" in my ears. The countdown began, and with determination, I dove into 100 laps of a world record attempt. The physical effort was moderate, but the mental strength and gratitude carried me through.

Despite encountering CO2 headaches and navigating through a moment of miscommunication, the focus and resilience prevailed. We surpassed expectations.

The celebration that followed, with hugs, interviews, and the whirlwind of emotions, painted the picture of a triumphant moment.

Now, fueled by this significant accomplishment, my eagerness to share knowledge and passion for freediving has found an outlet through online courses and coaching. What's the next adventure? A deep dive into Egypt's Blue Hole. As wisely articulated by my coach Martin, the ocean's depth far surpasses that of the pool - I can’t wait to find out!
