Off Jeju Island, Older Women Vanish Beneath The Waves On One Breath, And Science Is Finally Measuring What Their Bodies Learned | ECOnews
In May 2025, a team led by University of Utah geneticist Melissa Ilardo compared 30 haenyeo to 30 non-diving women from Jeju and 31 women from mainland Korea. The participants averaged 65 years old. Researchers tried to “simulate dives” by asking the participants to hold their breath and place their face in cold water.
The haenyeo’s heart rates fell more sharply than those of other women, helping their bodies use limited oxygen more efficiently. In one specific case described by Ilardo, a diver’s heart rate dropped by more than 40 beats per minute in less than 15 seconds. This response appears to be largely tied to training, showing what years of repeated dives can teach the body.

“Two Suspensions Don’t Fix 20 Years”: Roland Schoeman Joins The Fight Against Swimming SA | BizNewsTv
Roland Schoeman won three Olympic medals for South Africa. In this interview with BizNews editor Alec Hogg, Schoeman says that didn’t buy him any protection from Swimming South Africa: he describes being flown home from the US at the federation’s own expense just to hear a second doctor confirm what the first had already told them, and being blocked from a World Cup he’d already paid his own way to attend. Days after the federation’s president and CEO were provisionally suspended by World Aquatics over alleged abuse of power and fake documents, Schoeman tells Hogg that two suspensions don’t fix twenty years of it, and names the swimmers he wants to see speak up next.
