Randall,

I printed them out and saved them on paper. I have
them at home. If you want I can fax them to you. Send
me a fax number and I will send them to you.

Or you can look them up under the techdiver archive. I
have never done it but I have heard that you can check
it out pretty easily.

Also check out the masters website at 

http://www.usms.org or mine at
http://www.chicagomasters.com


TB

PS - Get into a Masters Swim ASAP. It is one of the
best (and hardest) things you will ever do.

Being in the water every day definitely tranlates to diving. I never
have any adjustment period no matter what I am diving , rb, oc, dry,
wet, single whatever, due to Masters swimming.

Also , you do get a real feel for body position in the water and an
appreciation of what causes drag.
