Overwhelming Support For Rebecca Coales To Train For Success At The Freediving World Championships
Bristol-based freediver Rebecca Coales launched Project Breathless on Friday 13th February to raise funding for her training and entry to the pool freediving World Championships.
The Project has already reached its initial target of £1,150 which provides for some of the training Rebecca needs for success, and her travel to the competition in Belgrade, Serbia.
Rebecca is now seeking a stretch target of £1,700 to allow her to train fully to reach her peak in June. Any funding beyond this will pay for travel to other international competitions to raise her profile as a successful UK diver.
Rebecca is a 5x National Record holder in pool-based freediving, where she swims as far as possible on one breath. She ranked 4th in the world last year so this step up in training will help take her to the next level.
Crowdfunder is the UK’s largest rewards-based crowdfunding network, having launched more than 4000 projects and raised over £2m.
Crowdfunder works by offering the crowd the opportunity to pledge to a project in return for a reward.
Project Breathless is offering raffle tickets to win a meal for two at Fisher’s restaurant in Clifton, yoga classes, sports nutrition coaching, corporate events and a chance to see your name or company advertised on the website and on social media.
Phil Geraghty, Crowdfunder MD said “Crowdfunder is about bringing communities together to make great ideas a reality.”

Rebecca is coached by Scubaverse.com’s Freediving Editor Steve Millard of Apneists UK.
