Mono-fins were introduced in 1972 by a Soviet fin-swimming club and have been used for fin-swimming competitions since. A mono-fin is a type of swim-fin typically used in underwater sports such as fin- swimming, free-diving and underwater orienteering. It consists of a surface attached to both of the diver's feet. The diver's appearance is then reminiscent of a mermaid or merman. By slowly oscillating the surface of the mono-fin when submerged, divers can generate large amounts of thrust even with small or slow movements. This preserves energy which helps when breath holding. : www.pcstraininguk.com ( 07564 448 785 * [email protected] Our Mono-fins • Innovative design holds feet comfortably without pinching, chaffing or straps • Buoyancy of neoprene compensates for the weight of the fin • Light weight & flexible to not restrict ankle movement • High quality dual layer neoprene layers • Ultra-comfortable design • Quick release for safety : www.pcstraininguk.com ( 07564 448 785 * [email protected] Safety first!

  • A History of Octopush
    A History of Octopush Written by Ken Kirby from articles by Alan Blake, E. John Towse and Cliff Underwood and with reference to BOA archive documents. Sub aqua diving around the coast of Great Britain in wintertime is not the most fun thing to do for most divers. Many turn to their local swimming pool to practise and keep fit. In 1954 Alan Blake, the Club Secretary of the Southsea British Sub Aqua Club decided to find a more fun way of spending time in a swimming pool and started to come up with ideas. Several schemes were mooted and discarded as impractical but one day in Jack and Ena Willis’s kitchen drinking tea along with Frank and Hazel Lilleker, and his wife Sylvia, Alan laid out his plans for a winter sport that they could hopefully develop. His plan was for teams of eight to propel a circular disc - possibly made of lead – with short sticks, to opposite ends of the swimming pool. As keen divers they wanted to maintain their links with the sea so they named the disc a Squid and the scoring area a Cuttle (later re-named the gulley). The short wooden stick became a pusher as that is what it was used for. The name of the game was simple - eight players gave them Octo and pushing the squid gave them Octo-push. (Although it was quickly realised 8 players on each side rather fills a swimming pool so teams were later reduced to 6 a side in the playing area). It has been suggested that knocking a diving weight around the bottom of the swimming pool with snorkels was the origin of Octopush, but at no time did this happen.

  • Safety Guidelines for Underwater Sports
    Underwater Society of America Safety Guidelines for Underwater Sports The Underwater Society of America (USOA) has adopted the following Safety Guidelines for participants in USOA sanctioned underwater activities. While no sporting activity is without risk, the USOA feels these Safety Guidelines will minimize what little risk exists in underwater sports training or competition. USOA plays four underwater sports - local to international level. Athletes wear masks, fins and snorkels. There are two team sports: underwater hockey and underwater rugby. There are two individual sports: fin swimming and skindiving spearfishing. Underwater Hockey is a snorkeling sport played in a hard-bottomed pool with depths of up to 12 feet. Short sticks are used to push and pass a 3-pound puck along the pool bottom into the opponents goal. Underwater Rugby is also a snorkeling sport played up to depths of 16 feet. A negatively buoyant ball is used, and play is both in the water column as well as at the pool bottom. Because the play occurs underwater for both sports, players must use controlled breathing and dive underwater for short periods of time while in play. In these team sports, players dive down to play in close coordination with their teammates to score or defend a goal. Fin swimming is classic swim competition for speed with fins. Skindiving spearfishing is a fishing competition where no scuba is used. Extended underwater breath holding can increase the risk of unconsciousness. USOA realizes the risk of such an occurrence is extremely low due to the inherent nature of the sports. However, the organization requires that all underwater sport athletes players read, understand and agree to follow these guidelines: 1) Hyperventilation is not allowed prior to or during underwater sports activities.
