friidrettsdykking
Friidrettsdykking is a niche sport that combines elements of athletics and underwater diving. It is not an officially recognized Olympic sport, nor is it widely practiced globally. The practice generally involves a timed event where participants must perform a series of athletic tasks while submerged in a swimming pool or a controlled body of water. These tasks can vary but often include swimming a specific distance underwater, retrieving objects from the pool floor, and sometimes navigating obstacles. The emphasis is on both speed and breath-holding ability.
Competitions in friidrettsdykking are typically organized by smaller sports clubs or federations specializing in aquatic activities.
