    South Africa’s first black freediving instructor, Zandile Ndhlovu, is dedicated to exposing underprivileged youth to the ocean world.

    Dubbed the black mermaid, Ndhlovu says she wants to diversify ocean spaces because they have historically excluded Black, Indigenous, and people of color.

    Through the Black Mermaid Foundation, she facilitates snorkel excursions for children living in Langa.

    Vitomir Maričić (Croatia) can’t walk on water, but he can do the next best thing – walk under it.

    After walking a total of 107 m (351 ft 0.5 in), he has broken the record for the longest underwater walk with one breath (male).

    The previous record belonged to fellow Croatian freediver Boris Milosic, who walked 96 m (314 ft 11.5 in) in March 2020.

  • LEN Agrees Not to Invite Russian and Belarusian Teams and Supports Ukrainian Athletes

    LEN strongly condemns the actions of the Russian government supported by Belarus, in its invasion of Ukraine. This act of war has shattered the lives of Ukrainian citizens and is totally against the spirit of sport.

    The Bureau of European Aquatics (LEN) met yesterday and decided not to invite Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials to LEN events in response to the invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces, until further notice. This is in line with recommendations of the International Olympic Committee and aims to overcome practical conditions related to the decisions of certain countries, as well as to protect the health, safety, and welfare of all athletes. LEN is committed to continue its work with FINA, the world aquatic governing body, to implement our respective positions and hope for a better future.
