Welcome to an all new episode of The Daily Adjustment and this week we have a really special treat: Ashley and Ren Chapman with special guest Cape Chapman – their one year old toddler. Ren and Ashley run Evolve Freediving in Wilmington NC where they teach ordinary people to hold their breath for a really long time while swimming underwater. In addition, Ashley holds multiple freediving National Records and World Records with the help of her husband and coach, Ren. They stopped by King Chiropractic with Cape, their one-year old who you will hear from time to time in the audio to talk about all things freediving!
