The International Association for the Development of Apnea (AIDA) was founded in 1992 “by Freedivers, for Freedivers”, to organize the worldwide community and gain recognition for the emerging sport of freediving.
As the symbol of freediving, AIDA has developed a core set of values to guide the sport as it evolves in a rapidly growing market:
•Safety - through ongoing research, standardization, and education.
•Fairness - lead by consistent evaluation of all athletic performances in the international competition circuit and followed at all the levels of the organization.
•Accessibility - through its structure of National representatives that ensure proximity and affordability in all corners of the world.
AIDA was developed as an umbrella organization to cover all aspects of the sport and the synergies between competition, education and community are the foundation of its uniqueness — an association dedicated to “All Freediving and Nothing but Freediving”.

Many freediving athletes follow routines without knowing if they actually work -or if they're just placebo.
The Nutri Antidop webinar with Prof. Dr. Marija Andjelkovic and Prof. Dr. Nenad Dikic is now on YouTube.
Watch the full 2-hour session: evidence-informed nutrition strategies, anti-doping supplement verification, and how to separate perceived effects from what science actually confirms.

The 32nd AIDA World Championship was filled with highlights from beginning to end.
It rained national records, continental records were set every day, and the longest standing world record was broken as well.
These extraordinary performances from athletes from all over the world are a testament to how the freediving community is growing steadily around the globe.
Thank you @freediving.lithuania for hosting us!
