Freediving speed 100 m, women

What to remember

Cagliari, Italy, 15 June 2017: Russia's Vera Yarovitskaya covered 100 m on one breath in 35.860 s. CMAS lists the time as the women's speed world record.

The speed event, coded SPE, is not about holding on as long as possible but about going as fast as possible over a fixed distance without taking a breath. It stands apart in competitive freediving, which usually measures a depth, a duration or a maximum distance.
