Thursday 30th June 2005

Everyone has their post-session wind-down. For most it's a warm shower and a chat about things freediving related. Not so for Nick. He has now come up with a new activity - running around the whole pool complex in his trunks, frantically looking for a lost locker key. I've maintained for some time now, that apnea has no detrimental effect whatsoever on memory.

Earlier in the evening, while I was training Rurik for his AIDA **, Nick, Irvine, James and Robin all busied themselves with dynamics. Rurik's dynamic rescue demonstration ( by me ) was a perfect example of how *not* to do it, and something I may well incorporate into future courses. Cramp-locked calf muscles do not contribute to successful rescue scenarios....

Well done to Rurik for completing his AIDA ** Freediver pool modules, and good luck for the NDAC open-water session.
