Technique goals for 2007?

[deepblueme]

To all of you wanting to get those trim/bouyancy skills down, even safty stop hovering. Heck even kicking drills.

Nothing works better than a 6ft deep pool and never touching bottom or breaking surface.

And if it's using your hands wear a pair of shorts with pockets, don't take them out unless your doing a skill. Mask clearing, sharing air BC trim and such.

I have more hours in a pools then I care to count. It's easy to hover when you can see the bottom below you or fix yourself a point on the wall. It's a total different story when you have no reference point to watch while you are hovering.

Leave it in the car in the first place. Then you don't have to worry about moving gear around.

Bouyancy goal is to get within a 1ft window for all skills and stops.

Finning technique goal is to refine my backward kick and helicopter turns so that I can use them better in currents
