2nd training day last night:
We start off by swimming 4 warm up laps.
1st Drill, we get all of our freediving stuff on, and swim laps across the deepend of the pool. On the way over, we do a pike dive and drop either our mask or our weightbelt gently on the bottom, then do an ascent and swim accross to the other side. on the way bay, we have to dive down and put on our piece of equipment that we dropped the earlier dive. IMO, the mask and snorkel was a lot harder to retrieve and put on and clear than the weightbelt. We did that 15 minutes before going on to the next drill.
2nd Drill, we swim 25 yards to our equipment and have 5 minutes to get everything on that we dont already have;BCD,REGS,Tanks...none of it is connected.
3rd drill,
We do ditch and dons and the same drill that we did at the 1st session, where we start out of the pool and jump in with everything off including the air and put all of our stuff back on.
4th drill,
We get all of our stuff on and put on our blacked out masks for the first time. we start with our backs to the wall on the shallow side of the pool, and we try to swim across the pool in the straightest line possible. the first guy did it great and was on the line the whole way. I was not so lucky and learned that i had a strong right leg.
We were running a little late, and at 9 we got kicked out of the pool by a cute coast guard girl. I think from now on its all going to be diving with a black mask.
