How tides work? its as simple as 1:2:3:3:2:1

When we hit spring senior members start looking at how the summer’s tides will affect us.

On the east coast the vast majority of beaches are greatly affected by tide with three notable exceptions Killiney Beach, 40 foot & Capstains Skerries, all of which you can get a swim on pretty much anytime. Claremount Beach in Howth is very tidal.

Knowing how tides work allow us to plan good timings for the boat launch, laying lines and anchors for buoys and plan training sessions for example you are more likely to run when the beach isn’t full of water, or more likely skim-board when the tide is at its lowest ebb on Claremount.

Everything you need to know about tides is contained in our tide section, take a look and see if you can answer the following three questions

How do I get the tide times for Dublin?
What does tidal height mean?
What is the rule of twelfths?

Dublin tide timetables available for all members at the door on Sunday.

Dates for your diary
Sat June 20th – DART run to the 40 foot to celebrate the end of exams
Sat June 27th – “Island Raid ‘09” when we take Ireland’s Eye for our own

Dublin Lifeguard Courses

Firstly congratulations to everyone on an exceptional years awards as published in the RLSS Annual Report.

Winning the KMcC Trophy was well deserved and remember this does not include all the Pool, Beach and AED we did during the year, nor does it include all the public AED sessions we held all over the country.

In February we will be launching Lifeguard Lanes for members who are interested in picking up their times and skills ahead of the summer lifeguard Jobs.

Lifeguard Lanes are from 9 every week starting February 09 and will run alongside our lifeguard courses

See y'all Sunday 11th
