THE DEPTH

Who We Are

AMERICA'S
FREEDIVING
FEDERATION

The USFF is the official national governing body for freediving in the United States — sanctioned by CMAS, recognized by the International Olympic Committee and UNESCO. Think of us the way you think of USA Swimming for swimmers, or USA Gymnastics for gymnasts. We exist for you.

Why It Matters

YOUR SPORT.
YOUR VOICE.
YOUR TEAM.
