Discover freediving in Capbreton near Hossegor

Situated on the Atlantic coast, just 35 minutes from Dax and 30 minutes from Bayonne, Capbreton provides the ideal setting to enjoy the natural beauty of the Landes by the sea. The coastline is perfect for water-based activities such as surfing or boat trips. But how about exploring a less familiar discipline, one that allows you to reconnect with yourself and the elements? Through freediving, you will learn the basics of breathing, feel the soothing effects of water, and take a moment to reconnect with your senses.

Suitable for everyone from 8 years old and ideal as a first gentle introduction to freediving, even if you can't swim, this session allows you to practise static breath-hold at the surface in very shallow water. Depending on the weather, your session in the Landes may take place either at Estacade Beach in Capbreton or at Chênes Lièges Beach at Hossegor Lake. Alternatively, the session can also be held in a swimming pool if preferred.

The experience begins with a short series of stretches specifically designed for freediving, followed by a breathing exercise. Guided by your professional instructor, you will prepare your body and mind to fully enjoy your session. Once ready, you’ll enter the water for approximately 30 minutes of static breath-hold at the surface. In a small group of no more than 10 participants, you will float in shallow water while your instructor remains attentive, adjusting the session to your needs. The main goal of this experience is to discover the sensations of freediving in a relaxed, pressure-free environment, even if you are new to being in the water.
