Announcements May 2024
Hello fellow freedivers, there are several announcements for the month of May.
First, I would like to share that the A42 Booking & Training App is now officially in use. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Chris, Irwin and their team for all their efforts in developing this app. Many thanks to the testers as well. This app will be available for download by the end of May 2024 thru app store.
Second, there will be a new training road map - Freediver Training Guide to 42.
Third, pool trainings will be reclassified from June 2024 onwards.
Fourth, there is a new workshop that focuses on Dynamic Conditioning.
Lastly, there are also changes to Payment Methods and Policies relating to Pool Trainings at MGS.
The A42 App was developed with the objective of improving the old booking and tracking system.
In addition to booking pool and openwater training sessions, you will also be able to access training materials. The upcoming Freediver Training Guide to 42 will be incorporated within this app.
