about freediving records rules

[par2005]

We are having issues about how to define a national freediving record here, in Lithuania. We don't have local AIDA, so we decided to create our own rules. I thought it would be wise to ask for an advice - if i could find somewhere any papers about what is a legal record.

We do have local records recording agency, but i don't think it really fits, as Guiness records are not held as real freediving records (that's why we do have AIDA)..

Thanks for any advice how this could be implemented.

For setting records outside of competition, many of the AIDA Nationals around the world use the AIDA International rules for competition (v11.2) as their own National Record rules, but tailor them a little to suit the AIDA National better - for example National records might follow AIDA Competition rules but do not require doping tests, but do require 2 Judges for verification. It's really up to the local country as to what rules they set up, but they should keep in mind that they want their rules to be able to be compared with other countries around the world, and their competitors need to know both those local rules and the AIDA International rules, so it makes sense to keep them fairly close.


Cheers,
