Thursday 3rd February 2005

Nick, Neale, Mark and Robin all did statics followed by dynamics. Theo and James worked on their Dynamics. Welcome to Simon, an AIDA qualified freediver, who concentrated on equalization.

Mark will supervise. Anyone planning to come, please post a comment. ( Note this session will be for previous attendees only - newcomers are next welcome on 3rd February. )

I'm also aiming to run a discussion group on the pro's and cons of lung packing. This will include a session on how to do it. Please note that I do not promote packing as a good freediving methodology, but if anyone is going to try it, it's better to consider why you are doing it, and be able to do it correctly. This will start at 8pm.

At this time of year, BFA subscriptions are due for renewal. We ask that people who have come to Richmond to freedive on more than 2 occasions, become BFA members. It's good for freediving, keeps you insured, and there are other benefits that you can read about on the BFA website. Follow this link for subscription payment details as well.

( Post meeting: Sorry to hear you're unwell Nick - so was the whole of Frank and Cindi's Scuba group, so we had the entire pool to ourselves!. Neale and Irvine practised statics and dynamics, with both achieving PB's in statics, while Mark and James did dynamics and DNF respectively. Hopefully Irvine and Neale are now better informed about whether they should consider lung packing in future, and if they do, how to go about it. )

Neale, Nick, Theo, James, Irvine and Mark H all made appearances. Dynamics for Irvine and James, Statics for Mark and Theo, and mixed disciplines for Nick and Neale. We had a welcome
surprise guest appearance from Laura Storm, the effervescent angel who heads up UK freediving Scuba support. Nice to see you again Laura. ( Any one interested in Scuba physiology, especially those who have experienced DCI hits, please visit Laura's website. )

Thursday 13th January 2005

Irvine, James, Brian, Robin, Neale, Nick and Mark H all in the chlorine.

Nick, Neale, Robin and Mark started off doing statics and finished off with a few lengths dynamic, while the other three concentrated on their dynamics.

At least 2 x PB's in the statics ( that I'm aware of ) for both Robin and Nick. Don't forget guys, work forward in gradual stages.
