It's on again!

The Lazy Seals will once more host our annual Wellington Winter Champs, to be held on the 18th & 19th of June out at Porirua Pool. This year will be the cheapest ever at just $35 for either competition or recreational grade, including pool entry. Whether you're after a national record or just want to give it a go in your first competition ever, we'd like to see you there!

Competitions are great fun, as well as a chance to really push yourself and test your limits in the most controlled environment possible. We've deliberately set the entry fees below our actual cost to try and get as many people involved as we possibly can, so get involved!

If you decide that competitions aren't your thing but still want to be a part of the event, we will need as many helpers as we can get to assist us. If you'd like to help, please contact me (chris@lazyseal.co.nz) or Ben (ben@lazyseal.co.nz) to offer your services. Otherwise, show up on the day and we'll find something for your to do.

The last point is that for the first time, registration for the event will be completely online. Fill out this form http://goo.gl/7P8aD and when you get to the pool all you have to do is sign by your details and complete the medical disclaimer. Now you have no excuses!

See you in the water,
Chris

Saturday Draw

After much delay, the draw is finally up!

Check what time you're diving and don't forget you have to be at the pool for the briefing. Recreational grade divers will do statics first.

Dynamics 2 Results

Well done to all our divers again, in particular Romain who's 180m no fins is a pending French National Record! Guy Brew did a fantastic 205m dynamic with fins, while Chris Mackie topped off a great competition with a big no fins as well.

Statics Results

Statics this morning went well for some and less so for others. Notable dives were Chris Mackie's big PB jump up to 5:25, Timon's 5:29 in his first competition and Guy's 8:35. Dive of the session though goes to Kathryn, who set a new national record with a huge 7:34. Well done!

Overall Results

Well done to all our competitors. Special mention goes to Kathryn Nevatt, who topped the competition overall with 240 points, along with Guy for winning the men's grade with only two dives (both over 100 points each!), Chris Mackie who came second and agonisingly close to 200 points, while first time competitor Timon bagged third.
