Freediving at CPS is run through a dedicated commission that covers both recreational and competitive apnea. The club has a competition team that entered events in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, Molsheim, Mulhouse, and Huningue during the 2025–2026 season — seven competitors represented the club at the Saint-Dié event in early 2026 alone. The recreational pathway feeds into this competition structure for those who want to progress. Pool sessions at the Piscine de Sélestat form the backbone of freediving training. Open-water freediving at the quarry lakes requires a C1 minimum-qualified instructor to be present — a stricter safety threshold than for recreational scuba. The gravière du Fort and the other local quarries provide calm freshwater conditions for breath-hold work outside the pool. CPS is affiliated with the FFESSM, which governs freediving training in France. The club's apnea commission is one of the more active sections, with regular competition participation and its own organizational calendar. Members interested in competing rather than just training recreationally will find an established team structure already in place.
Baptême de plongée
The discover dive at CPS takes place in the pool at the Piscine de Sélestat, which serves as the club's home base for all initial water contact. Access to the pool is only possible under the supervision of at least an E1-level instructor, which means first-timers are always in qualified hands from the first breath underwater. The baptême is open to members, including minors who have parental authorization and a medical certificate of non-contraindication on file. The format follows FFESSM federation standards, as required by the club's affiliation under number 06 67 0063. The club has been running these introductory sessions since it was founded in 1975, so the instructors are well practiced in managing first-time divers in the pool environment. Equipment is available from the club's own inventory, which is maintained by a dedicated Responsable du Matériel appointed by the governing committee. Safety equipment and oxygen therapy kit are present at every in-water session, whether in the pool or at a quarry lake — this is a hard rule at CPS, not optional. For those who want to continue after the baptême, the club structure leads naturally into full FFESSM level certifications through the club's technical commission and qualified instructors.
Formation RIFAP
CPS runs RIFAP (Réaction et Intervention Face à un Accident de Plongée) training as part of its safety education offering. The club's internal regulations require candidates to hold a first-level first aid diploma before beginning RIFAP training — a requirement aligned with FFESSM national committee recommendations. This sequence ensures that participants arrive with a baseline of emergency response knowledge before moving into dive-specific accident management. The training is conducted within the club's technical commission structure, which organizes activities and courses according to FFESSM regulations. The club has a safety-first culture embedded in its bylaws: no in-water activity begins without safety equipment, oxygen therapy kit, and a qualified person able to use it. RIFAP graduates step directly into that support role during club dives. Completion of RIFAP is a prerequisite for certain encadrant (instructor) pathways within the FFESSM system, making it relevant not just for safety awareness but for members who want to progress toward leading dives or teaching. The club has an active Délégué des Encadrants who coordinates these training tracks.
