Netherlands--Need Help from divers for vest testing

[tmaas]

We are testing the hydrodynamics of the Freediver's Recovery Vest ( The Freedivers Recovery Vest; A device to assist those who suffer freediver blackout (shallow water blackout) by bringing them to the surface )
Dr. Huub Toussaint of the Netherlands is recognized as one of the world's leading experts in analyzing the streamlining (drag) of a swimmer. He will test several variations of the vest. If you live near him and are willing to help, please contact me. Terry Maas

Dr. Toussaint's recent message:

Dear Terry​

The equipment will be ready in January (I hope) the testing area will be Swimming pool Tongelreep in Eindhoven The Netherlands. I will report on my blog how things proceed. The equipment is part of the research tools to analyse the optimal start performance in swimming with our national team.​

Interesting... We always train in the same pool as were they're going to test the device. So yes, interested in helping!

Hi,

To get in touch with the dutch freediving community it might be a good idea also to post on the forum of the dutch freediving organisation ( DFA - Dutch Freediving Association ) as well.
