Shark Freediving

The Hot Tub

On December 11 Shark Sports organizes a small static competition in the “Tongelreep” Eindhoven, The Netherlands. And of course we wouldn’t be Shark if we wouldn’t make it special!

The static competition will take place in a 33 degrees hot tub pool and we’ve got some special rules:

• No masks, goggles or noseclips allowd. Only naturals!
• No wetsuit! If anybody who want this in this kind of water, he’s crazy anyway.
• No warming-up! Who needs a warming up in a 33 degrees pool anyway? When you step in the pool 2 minute countdown starts. When the last person is finished, he gets out and you get in. Simple as that!
• Fins allowed! If it makes you happy to wear your monofin during static… be our guest!

For the rest we follow the  standard AIDA rules. So no strange things with the surface protocol and points.

We have an interesting setup for the competition. The whole competition will be broadcasted live with 2 or 3 camera’s to the internet (also underwater). So that will be fun.

Competition is from 21:00 to 23:00 and besides having fun in the Hot Tub, there will be room for some dynamic  training as well. Price for the competition will be 12 euro and includes pool entrance.

Oh and don’t worry: the bubbles will be off!

As an extra note: this competition is also a test for  our next, somewhat bigger competition, on January 23 when we will organize a dynamic competition.

At the moment I’m finalizing the competition website. I’ll put another news item online as soon as the website is live.

Places are limited to around 10-12 people. So if you want in sent me an email or leave a comment!
