From seas to cities, freediving is making a splash in Chengdu, the host of The World Games 2025! 🌊 City pools are going deeper than ever—offering a fresh escape from daily stress and a path to inner peace.

With popularity surging well above the global average across the Chinese mainland, it’s the latest lifestyle sport turning heads.
World champ Alexey Molchanov recently dropped by one of Chengdu’s newest deep pools to meet fans and share pro tips. His visit highlights how this aquatic adventure is shaping up: part fitness, part mindfulness, and totally Instagram-worthy. 📸
As niche and lifestyle sports gain momentum, urban freediving is carving out its own wave. Whether you’re hunting for a digital detox or craving a fresh thrill, this one-breath wonder could be the urban reset you didn’t know you needed. Ready to take the plunge? 🤿
