The following records have been verified by the US Freediving Federation and follow the guidelines of CMAS, the worldwide underwater federation.

If you would like to understand the requirements for a national or member record, please review this document and then follow the instructions outlined therein. As of 2022, only those members who are US Nationals can hold a “national” record. If you are a member of the USFF and not a US National, you can achieve and hold a “member record (MR)” for recognition of your accomplishment in the US freediving community.

If you would like to inquire about the official process to organize a national record event, please send us an email.

Here is a link to the currently published CMAS world records for freediving indoor and outdoor. Keep in mind that these are updated on a quarterly basis so the records may have changed.
