World Champion Freediver gives breathold workshop

Tanya Streeter recently (18 July) broke the mens and ladies world free dive record (122m) (see www.redefineyourlimits.com for more info about Tanya) and has been invited by the GB Ladies Elite Underwater Hockey Squad to present a breathold workshop to help us raise funds to go to the World Championships in New Zealand next year.

Tanya will be in UK on 8th and 9th November to present two 1-day clinics. The format for the clinics will be the same on both days and will consist of a motivational talk and discussion of breathing techniques/ excercises to improve lung capacity in the morning, followed by pool time in the afternoon to practice what you have been taught including static and dynamic apnea.

Date: Saturday 8th November, 11:30am-7pm OR Sunday 9th November, 9:30am-5pm (please indicate which day you would like to come on)

Venue: Leighton Park School, Shinfield Road, Reading, Berks RG2 7DH (map at http://www.life-times.co.uk/leighton.htm)

Price: £50 uwhockey players/£65 non-uwhockey players. Includes lunch, and manual (£15 non-refundable deposit to be paid asap to secure your place -see below. Balance by 27th October) (Tanya runs a similar clinic in the USA for £115/day so this is a VERY good deal!)

Deposit: Due to the nature of the workshop the number of people attending each day has had to be limited. Places on the course will be allocated on a first come/first serve basis and can be secured by sending a £15 non-refundable deposit to our manager, Terry Jackson.

Cheques can be made payable to "British Ladies Elite Underwater Hockey Squad" and posted to: Mr Terry Jackson
GB Ladies Elite Manager

Teignmouth
Devon, TQ14 8UU

There will unfortunately be quite a large amount of media interest due to Tanya's status and recent accomplishments - there's nothing we can do about this but we will try and keep them under control:>

Interested people can email me and I will add them to the mailing list so that they receive further details and updates as we get closer to the time.
