subject: Christmas Barefooting To Do List...

Before I get into my barefooting tip for you, there are two things that willsimplify your To-Do List;

1. Make life easier on your family and friends by helping them to find the gift that barefooters *WANT* instead of what barefooters *NEED*!

i.e. you need new underwear, but you WANT the best barefoot suit...

2. Download our new catalog by doing the following;

* Go to http://thefootersedge.com/proshop/

** "right-click" on the words, "Download Our Catalog,"

*** when the window pops up, save the catalog to your desktop

3. print out the best pages,

4. tape the pages in an obvious spot where they will best be
seen...

Doesn't it feel great to get really important stuff done?

On that same page, I put the link for my brand New No Fall Barefooting DVD which was just released...http://thefootersedge.com/videos/no_fall_video.html

Now for my big barefooting tip of the week...

If you are still barefooting while the temperature is cold, then you definitely need a bare foot dry suit in order tobe able to keep improving.

Now dry suits are a double edged sword. They are an additional layer of equipment that makes you feel bulky...BUT you get to stay toasty warm in almost any conditions!

Your call.

There is one HUGE benefit if you are one of those who chose "warm and dry" over "frozen and wet"...

You get the added benefit of floating higher in the water which makes learning the following starts easier; front deep water start, front tumble-up start, back deep water start, back tumble-up start, and even the front toe-up start.

Almost every start that I learned was in the off-season andthis is how I stumbled onto this great benefit.
