New BFA Committee
As quite a lot of the readers from this website come from the UK, I thought I would share this news with you as well. The BFA (AIDA national for the UK), has a new committee. See the press release below.
The BFA has announced its new committee for 2009/2010. The committee consists of some long-standing experienced members, including Rachel Sharp, Sam Kirby, Dave Griffiths, Marcus Greatwood, Ben Noble and Martyn Jones, all of whom have held various roles over the years and continue their unstinting support of the sport. They are joined by some newer members, including 2008 UK Team members, MT Solomons and Stuart Bond, and four-times World Record holder, Sara Campbell.

2010 will be an exciting year for freediving, with the Team World Championships being held in the fabulous resort of Okinawa, Japan in July. Excitement among British freedivers over team selection has already begun and it looks as if the promise of competing in Japan will see many divers training hard throughout winter and spring to increase their performances for a chance of selection to represent their country at the 2010 Worlds.
The BFA is currently working on a sponsorship plan, as well as organizing training camps and competitions in Mexico, Dahab and the UK to support its athletes in achieving their very best in Okinawa, a competition which promises to be the most exciting, demanding and toughly contested Worlds competition the sport has seen for many years. Any companies interested in supporting the UK Team in Okinawa should contact Marcus Greatwood or Sara Campbell for information.
