Does age affect freediving

It seems that age has no mark able effect on the ability to freedive. If anything the older the diver gets the better they dive. Most of the world records are held by divers that are in their late 30 to early forties. The reason likely being that with age people learn to control the way their mind works. They are more able to maintain a relaxed state of mind. This is not always the case but it is in many instances. Over all what effects freedivers ability to perform is training. First being taught by a good instructor, and then learning and training on your own accord with a good training buddy. Long story short, age does not seem to have a profound effect on freediving performance.
