With Vera Giampietro:
Vera Giampietro was born in Bellinzona, Switzerland, in 1990. She studied and lived in Lausanne for 10 years. She discovered freediving in 2018 and quickly became an instructor. She started competing on the same year, but because of an unfortunate accident she was forced out of the water for two years. In 2020, she moved to Egypt during the pandemic to reconnect with the sea. In her first month in Dahab, she broke all the Swiss depth records winning a gold medal in her first competition after the accident. Ever since, she kept breaking records in international competitions and she took part in two World Championships.
Yoga teacher, freediving instructor, athlete, passionate climber, Vera is in love with movement and nature. She is based between Switzerland and Egypt, travelling all over the world to train and compete. She finances most of her expenses organising yoga and freediving holidays and workshops about stress management for companies. Vera is on a mission to bring more awareness and mindfulness to others. She loves to talk in public about her experience, hoping to inspire others to follow their dreams.
