Thursday 1st June 2006

We welcomed back our stray cat from Dahab, Fred Stone, here on a flying visit. Fred joined Gary, Jonny, James and Mark for the ups and downs of dynamic training, while Lucia and Toby focused on statics.

Anyone wishing to come along, please post a comment. ( This includes those who haven't been for a while - you don't need to ask, just put up a posting and come along. ) It would be helpful for buddy pairing if you can say what training you expect to do.

Lucia will be supervising. Anyone who hasn't been before, and doesn't have AIDA qualifications is welcome in June ( date TBA ) - please mail Mark H beforehand.

Unfortunately we are now down to one lane for the foreseeable future, so be prepared for a tight squeeze if doing dynamics. Statics are less of a problem as we can use the 'Scuba side' in the shallow end. If we can make sure when doing dynamics to breathe-up / chat on the long edge of the pool, then this allows turns for those doing them. As always look ahead now and again to avoid collisions.

Lucia and Livvy went in for the pure static experience, while Gary, Toby and Mark did the familiar split of statics / dynamics. Toby made a PB with a record breathe-up(!)

Good Luck to Livvy, Ben and Theo who are competing next week onward in the Dahab Trible Depth ( Livvy ) and Nice CIPA Open ( Ben, Theo, Mark ). I'm off to William Hill this lunchtime to put a bet on one of them coming back with a new national record :-)

Quite a few on board tonight, with everyone doing dynamics for at least part of their training. Livvy, Lucia, James, Jodie, Gary, Toby, Irvine, Simon, Ben and Mark making up The Richmond Ten.
