Eeeek -
100m depth down and back up.
Or 100m along roofed passage??
or just 100m 'lengths' back and forth. (and if so, why in a cave?
)

It seems the record is distance swum without fins (thus the photo in the original citation is misleading). The location happened to be in a cave, but the swim was in a lake, not an overhead environment for diving purposes.

Free diving is a bit like caving in that its super niche at least in the UK. But they take records super seriously and have loads of different
disciplines
. 100m deep is not uncommon in competition and the record at the moment for just swimming is
with 253.2m being achieved when they use a sled and just hang on.
