The Line
Community forum for the international freediving community. A place for freedivers to connect, share training knowledge, discuss competitions, and help each other progress in the sport.
View projectThe problem
Freediving is a niche sport with a passionate global community, but no dedicated English-speaking forum to call home. Discussions were scattered across subreddits, Facebook groups, and Discord servers — fragmented, hard to search, and lacking the depth a technical sport like freediving deserves.
What I built
The Line is a community forum built specifically for international freedivers. It gives the community a dedicated space to discuss training methodology, competitions, gear, and technique — with proper threading, tagging, and search so knowledge doesn't get lost.
Features include:
- Thread-based discussions organised by training, competitions, gear, and more
- Tagging system for topics like pool-training, competition, and beginner
- User profiles with posting history
- Voting and engagement to surface the best content
- Search to find relevant discussions quickly
Why it matters
Freediving has a knowledge problem. Hard-won experience about breath-hold training, equalisation technique, and competition prep lives in the heads of experienced divers — and rarely gets written down in a way newcomers can find. The Line is built to change that: a permanent, searchable home for the sport's collective knowledge.
