 join online http://goo.gl/IwsC1f

Its a bank holiday so we will not be on the beach training on Sunday evening  - find yourself a lifeguarded beach and head there with your friends instead

Registrations for the RLSS Open Water Orientation Workshop (Instructor) can be made here http://goo.gl/MUFQsN
New trainers courses will be published here in August 


Dollymount Jellyfish
and there be monsters on the beach, we have nessie on Claremont but Dollymount had something fairly terrifying with a skirt modelled for scale by Sthoee Lifeguard Mark. (he's three cm tall as you can see in the picture)


There are rumours that they are this big only because there's no cars on Dollymount (are people excited by a car free dollier?) 

Jellyfish are not only on Dollymount they're everywhere. remember your colours  - purple all white ?you should be all right

So what is this one ? you need to know your jelliers

Half the world away.


Tonight was one of the largest lifesaving swims we've ever had. Us doing what we do week in, week out. The ripple of laughter as a new generation learn the skills that save lives.

On the way home we heard the sad news of lifeguard, Ben Carlson, who drowned this evening during a rescue off Newport beach California.

A million times we've had the conversation about personal safety and the very real risks faced by lifeguards in the course of duty.

To Ben's family, crew, colleagues we offer our deepest sympathies. You are in our thoughts and the thoughts of the lifeguard community everywhere. One of us .

On the beach Sunday at 6

Great day on the beach for summer lifesaving kick off
                                            
Next swim and  your work for Sunday 

Whats happening ?
Rookie  - Beat the crew on weather and tides:
Your Rookie challenge for next week is to look at met Éireann for weather reports and wind direction, download the app to you device or mom and dad’s if you can or you can visit a library and have a look online on Met Eireann  - or listen to the weather forecast  remember the challenge is to know Mondays forecast – on the beach we'll see if we can see the weather coming by looking at the cloud, wind and forecast. There is some great live information in Howth here.

Find the tide times for July - need a hint? Who else would need to know the boats visiting Dublin Port or perhaps the sailors in the Yacht Club who need to use the Harbour?

S&S / Seniors
          Your challenge is to download your S&S Beach book here - it’s got everything you’ll need if you are going for bronze silver or gold. RLSS Beach Lifesaving Awards
you need this if you.......

Where’s all the gear?
The eagle eyed among you will have noticed a distinct lack of boats and ski- a lot of the gear is in storage following the break in  - the basics of AED, First Aid and torpedo buoys are in place and you will see the rest coming back in stages during July.
