Re: Pre Freeze-A-Palooza Training???
Gene,
Monday nights from 8-9 at the McFarland Highschool pool, it's just a coupe minutes south of Madison and onthe east side of town to make your drive a bit closer.
Bring your new wetsuit and I can show you how to put it on- don't forget a spraybottle full of lube.
I can also hsow you the rope hook ups and you can even getin a game of underwater hockey if you want. Any one f those Mondays will work just let me know the monring of which one your coming to.
I'm hoping that everything is still a GO for the Ice Freedive. Here it is the 6th of Janurary and the lakes are WIDE open- this is not normal. If there's no ice we'll still dive but it won't be quite the same.

Re: Pre Freeze-A-Palooza Training???
If your looking for depth come up to Freedive-a-palooza this summer- the lake is 320' deep. I've got freinds who have bottomed it out and will be up there freediving with us, but could be talked into putting their tanks on if you want to go for some kind of a record. I've had 60'+ of vis down at 230' in there before- without a light!
There are other places that are wide open right now were we can hit 100' without much of a problem- Red granite Quarry and Lake Geneva come to mind.
A couple of my local lakes are wide open right now and go down around 80'. Then, there's always the wrecks off of Milwaukee that we can hit if you want to go deep in the summertime.
I've dove some of the wrecks down in the Chicago area before, but everything down there is very shallow and broken up- not to mention the crazy boat traffic. Everyone else I know from the area comes up to Wisconsin to dive. If you've got a place to go, that I don't know about, I'd be interested in checking it out. I'm certain we could get a group together to dive it.

Jon!
I will come to Freedivie-A-Palooza as well because Jim (FreediveChicago) told me it's a must see event. The depths You are talking about are far beyond my reach but I would like to hit around 120 for now. It looks like I should not have a problem finding the right people there...
Thanks and see You in Wisconsin in a month

Re: Pre Freeze-A-Palooza Training???
Jon,
Sounds good about going to the school on a Monday night. I will try to make (2) if possible (1/15 & 1/22), but I will let you know for sure as we get closer.
Do you do the underwater hockey every Monday night?
Are you open to others attending as well?
Thank you for your assistance. No wet suit yet, but should be soon!

Re: January - Pre Freeze-A-Palooza Training???
I played every Monday night for the past 6 years, but took a pretty good hit a couple months ago and was advised by my doctor to quit- compressed a nerve in my spine.
Others are always welcome. First time free after that it's $5 a session for pool rental.

Gene,
I would pass on the 22nd if I were you. I just found out yesterday that the TV news station is sending their camera crew in that night and I have to shoot the underwater footage for them as part of the report they are doing on Under water hockey.
Now, if you want to come down and play hockey, plus get on TV, I would suggest making the trip anyhow. I just won't be able to help you out with much else that night.
