Los Angeles, CA, 06 June 2021
The road to expansion is dotted with landmarks. It’s a historic time for US Freediving, as the federation strong in depth begins to expand to Indoor (time and distance).
2021 promises to be an epic year with many firsts for this young federation. Of note: June 21st-27th in Belgrade, Serbia, the United States will make its debut appearance at a CMAS Indoor World Championship.
Katie Kleinwachter, native of Illinois, and current 2x US record holder will blaze the trail as she becomes the first American diver to participate at a CMAS Indoor World Championship.

“It’s an absolute dream to represent the United States on the world stage and be the first American diver to ever participate in an Indoor World Championship. I am going to proudly wave our flag at the opening ceremony.
Plus, I have the opportunity to take everybody with me on this experience via social media, and to be the ambassador is not something I take lightly! I am really excited to be able to take people on this journey and increase awareness of the sport and specifically, indoor disciplines.”
Follow the action, on Facebook and Instagram @USFreediving and Katie’s page @only100yrs with “Road to the World Championship” content on the training and behind-the-scenes action once “We’ve arrived.”
