I know its ages off, but don't forget to get the BSAC medical form signed off.
This can often just be signed by a parent, but if you have asthma, for instance, you need to be checked by an approved BSAC diving doctor who will say whether you are fit for a try dive. The pool environment is very safe, but you will be breathing cold, very dry air and and first time is always a bit stressful. I can let you know who the BSAC doctors are if you can't sign the declaration and want to get them to give you the all clear. I should warn you that we have found one of them difficult to contact and the other reluctant to sign anyone off, but if you tell them that it is a one night, scouting, pool session run by Wrexham BSAC as a one off experience, they may be less concerned. I understand that it is fine for someone with mild asthma of a type that is not induced by this sort of activity.
I will post a sign up list to divide you into two groups and post activity forms with locations tiimes contacts etc etc soon, but get the BSAC form sorted out asap!
