THERE IS SOMETHING COOL HAPPENING AT LAMBTON POOL
WEEKLY FREEDIVING POOL TRAINING
Move better. Freedive with more joy & purpose.
WEDNESDAYS 4:15 - 5:45pm
We’ll aim for a later start as summer opening hours extend. Timing updates will be confirmed in our WhatsApp group.
Do you dream of longer, deeper, more joyful dives?
Make your dream a reality and come join our small crew of freedivers in Lambton pool.
Each Wednesday, we’ll stretch, practise breath holds, catch up and spend an hour in the pool building fitness, refining technique and finding more ease on a single breath.
These sessions are about steady progress and enjoying the process together. No maximum dives or competition targets—just purposeful training, guided by me, at a level that suits you.
For freedivers who have completed a freediving course.
WAYS TO JOIN THE FREEDIVING TRAINING
NOTE: All prices are in AUD. Pool entry is paid separately. Min 2, max 6 freedivers. Please reserve your spot for each session through our WhatsApp group, including when using a pass.
One of Australia's best
Michaela is incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to her craft, which is very apparent in her coaching. She does an incredible job walking you through the details of how to improve your technique and the mentality behind training. Can't recommend her enough!
Jack Dalton
I highly recommend Michaela if you wish to improve your freediving skills.
Michaela is on point and doesn’t skip a beat. She makes training enjoyable. My improvement has been profound. Highly recommend.
Craig Bellamy
Michaela is not only an outstanding athlete, but her services and workshops—both in-person and online—are incredibly well-designed and thoughtfully structured.
She truly thinks of every detail. Her personal approach takes the whole program to another level and makes her training experience something I’ve never encountered anywhere else. Highly recommended.

“The confidence she instilled in me is something I’ll always cherish.”
After failing part of my Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET) assessment, I reached out to Michaela for help. She created a tailored programme with specific underwater drills and sourced equipment to simulate the assessment.
Her commitment and support gave me confidence and self-assurance that I’ll always cherish. An absolute bloody legend 🤙🏼

Michaela doesn’t just teach you to freedive — she helps you connect deeply with yourself and the water. Her calm confidence, intuition, and genuine care create a space where you feel completely safe to grow, push your limits, and rediscover what you’re capable of. Working with her has been truly transformative.
Lisa Mackay
Training with Michaela goes far beyond technique. She blends science and soul, structure and intuition, challenge and safety — all with calm clarity and deep empathy. Every session is tailored, grounded, and transformative. You don’t just become a better freediver… you become more connected to yourself.
Trent Jones
For more than 2 years Michaela has been my freediving coach. Michaela created a weekly personalised plan for pool focusing on core strength, CO2 endurance, technique and flexility for DNF and bifins.
Prior to training with Michaela I was in the pool all the time but not getting anywhere. I put my absolute trust in her and have been rewarded with a journey that has a positive impact on every aspect of my life.

I'M MICHAELA - YOUR FREEDIVING COACH
Two-time Guinness World Record holder, no-fins addict (despite the pic 😉), competitive freediver, coach and lifelong student of water.
I’ve been freediving since 2009 and have trained and coached hundreds of freedivers along the way. Today, I coach people worldwide across pool and depth disciplines, helping them to become their best by developing their technique, confidence and enjoyment of the water.
The story behind my coaching
Years of training have taught me to pay attention to the small things: the intention you carry into the water, the breath you take before a dive, the tension in a shoulder, the timing of a kick and the quality of your recovery breaths. These details tell me so much about how you’re experiencing a dive—and where a little guidance could make a difference.
I see each person as an individual, with their own experience, abilities and reasons for being in the water. Even in a group, I take time to notice how you move, listen to how you feel and help you find what works for you.
Efficiency before distance. Awareness before effort.
Especially at the beginning, how you feel matters more to me than how far you go. We build from there—with purposeful practice, patience and room to enjoy the process.
I want you to leave our sessions feeling accomplished and recharged, with something left to give to the rest of your life. For me, that’s what good training should offer.
