William Trubridge, one of New Zealand's and the world's best freedivers, is back on our shores for the birth of his first child. (Yes a water birth is planned.) He's based in Havelock North with his parents while he's here but he lives mostly in the Bahamas. After his time back here he will be back into training for the AIDA World Championships in September. He explains how he has come to hold 18 world records and what it takes to be a world champion freediver. He also has an announcement to share.
