Hi!
After few posts to the forum I started thinking that maybe it would be polite to introduce myself. So here goes... My name is Väinö Friman, I'm 24 years old student from Tampere, Finland. I've been freediving for a bit over one year. I'm studying to be mathematics teacher, should start working on my master thesis any day now. Opportunities for freediving are at the moment rather limitited; I'm doing my civil service (the alternative to army) as a guide in the Seitseminen national parks visitors center. So, while I'm working I'm living here in the woods, and only training possible is dry training. From freediving disciplines static seems to be the one I have some talent in, I'm not sure if that's the one I like most. Väinö Ps. Anyone interested in Bourbakis approach of the theory of sets?

Wellcome aboard Väinö
The static training will give you a good breathe hold, and that will give you lot of confidence for the other disciplines. So, if you are in the woods now, keep doing that dry training, it will help a lot in your next dive. Try the dry walking, I like it very much. It teach me a lot about rithm and pace. Saludos Carlos

One of my fellow diver here in Tampere commented on dry statics quite aptly: "It's like freediving without any of the good things."
But walking apnea is ok, should do it in the quiet hours during the work day  Training while you should be doing something else is fun. I've done 4.30 dry static during a special educations lecture...

Welcome! I just finished my Masters in Computer Science and I am (just flip your numbers around and you get my age!)
You will meet all kinds here. I'll bet you are freezing your whazzits off guiding people around a park this time of year in Finland too! Probably 22 hours a day with a flashlight, right?  Bret

Said,
the civil service is just as enjoyable as working full time job with about no pay for 13 months can be Luckily I do my guiding sitting inside in the visitors centre. And in fact it hasn't been that cold lately. Proper winter is just starting, we didn't even have snow until few days ago. But it sure is dark outside, we have daylight from about 9.30am to 15.30pm, and rest of the day is more or less pitch black. And the day will get shorter still before the situation gets any better. Finland is a great place to live.
