Hi all, For those of you who don't know me, Im john, the clubs training officer. I'll be helping to organise and run the training within the club over the next few months. First off, Mondays try-a-dive. Hate to spam you all about it but if you plan on going please email me letting me know, particularly if you need or can offer a lift from DCU to the pool. Secondly, quick reminder that as the semester goes on all members of the club will have to do their pool test. You have to do three things to be allowed dive for the year, -Snorkel or swim 200m without stopping -Snorkel dive with fins and mask and fin a distance of 25m underwater -Tow a snorkel diver 50m Its straight forward and i doubt anyone will have issues, keep in mind returning members will need to attend at least 4 of the Thursday night sessions for fitness training before taking the test. Lastly, don't forget new members will need to get a medical done before diving. Also, any returning member will need one if they have reached the age of 35 years young, or their medical status has changed since their last medical. Everyone else needs to log into COMS on CFT <http://www.cft.ie/> and sign off their annual medical disclaimer. (This is *important*, don't forget!) If anyone has any questions about the try-a-dive, pool test, medical, or any training stuff in general, feel free to contact me. Thanks, John
