Get to know Felicia and Shane

What inspired you to pursue your sport?

“Indiana Jones inspired me to seek a life of adventure from an early age… and everybody should do yoga.” SW


“Water sports have always been everything I’ve ever known, I know no other way to be. The peace and beauty of the underwater world is full of magic.” FF

What are your proudest Go Beyond achievements or milestones?

“The end game is to lead free dive yoga retreats that allow me to share my passions with people all around the world but along the way I have personal goals of getting as deep as my body (and physics) will let me.” SW


“Life underwater has brought me the most joy, serenity, peace, and reward. I aim to share this with others all around the world through live performances, social media, and community connection.” FF

Why did you choose to work with H2O Audio?

“Music allows me to push myself to that next level. I needed that little extra push that H2OAudio could give me for my static apnea training.” SW


“Listening to music underwater has allowed me to live my wildest fantasies and cinematic dreams. Adding a soundtrack to my underwater world was a game changer for all my training and fun dives.” FF

How has H2O Audio enhanced your training or performance?

“In the words of Eminem, It allows me to 'lose myself in the music.'” SW


“As a live mermaid performer, creating an immersive experience for myself by way of music lends to a more magical and realistic performance for the audience. I get into a flow state and slow down with graceful melodies floating through my brain as I twirl and dance through the water.” FF

What’s your go-to music or playlist during workouts, and what type of workout do you use it for?

"I have a playlist for music that has always made me feel like I'm underwater, now I can listen to it while actually being underwater!" FF Listen now

"Calm ambient, tribal, and classical tracks to put my mind at peace during long breath holds." SW Listen Now

Share a memorable moment or story from your training where H2O Audio made a difference.

“Swimming through a crystal clear natural spring with aquatic life and plants with light beams shining through the water while listening to moving melodies is an experience I will never forget and feel grateful to be able to continue to do” FF

“Cold water static apnea training in the rain. The music gave me that push I needed to hold on just a little longer.” SW

How do our headphones help keep you motivated during tough sessions or races?

“Static Apnea is a mental game and training with music lets me lose myself and get into a meditative state where I am not thinking about how much I want to breathe.” FF


“When my breath hold starts to hurt and my mind is screaming to inhale, losing myself in a good tune can drown everything else out.” SW

What advice would you give to aspiring athletes?

“Always do your best, and your best may change from day to day. Listen to your body and pursue it for joy, love, and self trust.” FF


“Life is short, so if you’re going to put in the time to grow, you’ve got to love what you do. There will be frustration, anger, even moments when you curse your sport - but if you keep coming back to it… if deep down, you still love it, then you also get to feel pure joy, power, and purpose. The love is the fuel - it's what it’s all about.” SW
