+1 Just a quick note

2011-12-13T16:32:00.001Z

+1 Just a quick note

Every now and then we get a call that puts a smile on our face

A couple of weeks ago we ran one of the sessions we call "the basics", it's a snappy session ending with hands on CPR and AED for the attendees.

We do it free for groups the length and breadth of Ireland, we've run hundreds of them for thousands of people,

So back to the call, two of the people on the session witnessed a collapse, remembered what they learnt, used it, fired the AED and saved a life.

At sthoee we have a standing rule, nobody takes bows, we take successes along with the disappointments.

Everyone who supports this programme knows they were part of this, everyone who supports us is a part of this

everyone sthoee is part of this

job well done

Christmas meet up, 18+

June bank holiday & Dublin Lifeguard News

2011-06-05T11:39:00.003+01:00

No pool swim this Sunday

Lifeguards from the local authorities started their summer run this week. AED are now a feature the length and breadth of the Dublin coastline. This is a great step forward given the economically challenging times

We will ne giving information on beaches thoughout the summer and filling you in on some of the more quirky lifeguard stories around.

Jellyfish watch ? Keep tuned for information

For more information on aed and defilfrillators check out these links....

Using a defib and getting trained

Types of defibrillator Fingal Lifeguards use the defibtech one in the pictures

June bank holiday

2011-06-03T07:36:00.000+01:00

First traunch of lifeguards start on the beaches this weekend. Contracts to all. You will be busy!

No pool swim this bank holiday.

Film Night @ Sthoee Lifeguard AED

2011-05-22T22:44:00.003+01:00

100% of the AED crew said that this was worth watching. It comes with a health warning.......

It shows a real rescue
It shows real use of a defibrillator / AED

as well as how a well trained team works together ........

Film Night @ Sthoee: Rip current

2011-05-22T22:20:00.005+01:00

People have been asking about rip currents, what is a rip current? What to do if you are caught in a rip current? and can a rup current be useful to a lifeguard?

This is about the best explanation that we have ever seen - along with great video, commentary and graphics.

after watching here are some test questions........

Is there such a thing as a riptide?
How can you recognise a rip current?
What do you do if you get caught in a rip current?

In 1821 we had our own Royal visitor in Dublin

2011-05-22T22:10:00.003+01:00

Howth is well known for the Asgard and having a rich history but did you know right beside where we swim another Royal visitor left his Mark.

The Harbour was a new feature in the area when in August 1821 In 1821 King George IV arrived in Ireland at Howth.

To mark the event (literly) his first foot prints were carved into the stone of the harbour and there they ramain to this day. They are at the end of the West Pier (our Pier!)

When you are swimming ask and we will take a trip there. You will have to do the math but I think take akes him QE2's Geat Great Great Grandfather

He had small feet.

Big announcement from Sthoee lifeguards Dublin .....

2011-05-16T20:20:00.001+01:00

Mayday bank holiday

2011-05-01T10:16:00.002+01:00

Mayday bank holiday, no swim, have a great weekend

Lifeguards use radios on a regular basis. Sthoee keeps two sets , marine band VHF and digital CB. Marine VHF are a seriously useful piece of equipment on the beach as they tie us into the rescue services when we need to.

If you are interested in learning more about radios and lifeguards why not check out the website

Happy New Year

2009-12-31T14:14:00.001Z

Ten of the best from the last decade
Everyone else is doing a retrospective so here's our one – email or text
anything we've missed

Scuba Santa. Hilarious, just hilarious, actually add in Blood Night. it was
never intended to be anything more than a once off, the people in need All
Night Swim, Sthoee Surf, BBQs, Eating Jellyfish, there's hundreds of these

Our Beach Hut, sure it changed the way we visited beaches but it allowed
for the increase in open water gear that was restricted by our ability to
carry kit on the roofs of cars. Its hard to think of a day before we had a
permanent base. Awesome.

DCU, the loss of St Paul's changed the face of Sthoee for the better. Good
job.

AEDs – In the early years of the decade we knew we wanted to do something
with AED. It was extraordinarily difficult to get access to the equipment
donated for use in Ireland, it transpired that this was deliberate but it
actually forced us into thinking bigger. Much bigger. The AED programme now
boasts the largest voluntary kit in Ireland with live AED, programmable
manikins, loads of trainers. Thousands have been trained both with Sthoee
AED and in support of Apache Pizza's programme.

The 2004 Tsunami. Seriously? After the horrific events of the 2004 tsunami
the team discussed the overwhelming devastation caused by the natural
disaster. Traditionally Sthoee has its "last Sunday" fundraiser every year
but we thought this needed something more. The massive donation made by the
club stretched us to the very edge of being broke but is considered by many
to be exactly what sthoee is all about. This also had a very unexpected and
positive side result that saved us a shedload of money and continues to do
so to this day. Speaking of …..

Levies: During this period we were pushed to the pin of our collar and
needed to reduce expenditure (cash flow issue for the accountants amongst
you) - during our work we discovered we were paying charges on our Pool
Lifeguard Qualifications to an irish business over an above the IQL UK
rate. It transpired that this was a BMC member charging us per candidate
qualification. We never discovered what it was for nor did we get a refund,
discussion on the issue and requests for refund were blocked at local,
national and International level. Needless to say we do not pay levies to
irish businesses for any of our voluntary activities any more.
We hope that one day no Irish member will have to pay charges on society
qualifications.

sthoee.com / blog: we've had a website for a very long time, the early
nineties to be exact , with over 100,000 visitors sthoee.com is when we
came of age online

Birthdays: All of them, favourite comment was at the 18th (Sthoee 18
celebrating 20 years of bad statistics!)

Protection: did you know we have issued over 500 face masks in the last
1000 days. staggering

The People: Thousands of people have been though Sthoee some for a short
time, some for a very long time as swimmers, lifesavers, lifeguards,
supporters and as we have said year on year for nearly (over) 2 decades –
you know who you are, you know we appreciate it - go raibh maith agaibh.

What's next? Check out the website in the new year - we are going to be
busy

And with new years resolutions remember that the only thing you really need
to change is your socks. Often.

Happy new year to you and yours, the thousands of sthoee alumni and all our
friends everywhere, take care

Yes we are swimming tonight ! Back Jan 10th

2009-12-20T18:51:00.001Z

From everyone here to everyone we met this year, everyone we swam
with, did courses with , trained with, assessed with, you name it.
Thanks !!

No swim Thursday 30/7/09

2009-07-29T13:23:00.004+01:00

:-(

The moon does it

2009-07-17T22:54:00.003+01:00

With all the moon landing celebrations we should point out just how important the moon is to us

It regulates the tides and gives us the magic rule of twelfths that makes it all predictable.

if you want to learn more about how it all sits together check out our website;

Learn why the moon is so important to tides

next swim Thursday @7 - watch this space as venue may change! ! ! !

Capsize drill

2009-07-16T23:10:00.001+01:00

jedi got good and wet this evening- capsize drill is about as much fun
as you can have on a boat - in and out constantly boat flipped and
righted constantly

It's easier than it looks and tonight we had a virgin crew go from
belly up and wet to righted and dry in 26 seconds.

It will be a long time before we see that time broken, a very very
long time.

No sat swim this week . next swim Thur at seven, monster tide sat week - event planned !

Dublin emergency services sea swim 2009

2009-07-11T18:49:00.000+01:00

So normally we have Rlss lifeguards and lifesavers on the beach

Today Coastguard, RNLI, Ambulance, Dublin fire brigade, Gardai,
Beaumont A&E, Airport police and fire pretty much anyone with a blue
polo shirt.

The event was moved to our home beach on Claremont for logistal
reasons. A great day had by all.

Never before have we had so much rescue on the beach and in the water
with perhaps the best start possible from Howth lifeguard

Well done to the organisers- it was an impressive event - pictues to
follow on www.Sthoee.com
