Dublin’s only lifeguard dog

Meet Cleo Dublin's only lifeguard dog

Visitors to the beach will be used to see her wearing her bright orange lifejacket, she never hits the water without it

Tuesday 25th – Board meeting On one of the wettest and coldest July evenings in memory we split into two board groups with every board we have wet. A sea of yellow against a grey sky and sea. Hand & paddle skills were worked on. Some impressive noobs on the water

Weather: foul, heavy rain, Tide: low, flat calm Wildlife: light scattering purple jellyfish, dog

Next swims Saturday – Beach Lifeguard (contact your TA) Sunday @7

Just a note, the ski, lovingly known as the ugly one, was formally retired this week(with a sledge hammer). Already tired when it joined us 5 years ago we made a decision that the money and time required for on-going repairs was just too great. Heavy in the water, clumsy to steer, useless for towing, leaked like a sieve, uncomfortable with the hydrodynamics of a cavity block were some of its better points but for all this it was incredibly photogenic. It served its time well and will be replaced at the end of the season by another first in rescue boards in Ireland, something very special - more soon.

six years on.......

Six years ago we moved out of St Pauls Swimmimg Pool.

Sthoee started there over two decades ago when staff there wanted a different approach to lifesaving for Dublin Lifeguards.

Who would have thought it would be good for us moving our lifesaving classes deep into North Dublin.  

these were the thoughts at the time

in the shops

 Step one: dunno if our jellyfish is edible so we buy it. Its readily available in shops. We generally use the instant variety because we have no patience.
(all jellyfish is edible, some only once!)

ready to eat instant jellyfish

its not that pretty, it comes in brine . it looks like , well shredded jellyfish. its faitly tasteless and odourless , to make it palatable it needs flavourings. today we had spicy and salty. not altogether bad

ready to eat

This is what it looks like dressed and ready to eat

before

one small step for mankind 

after

yup, didn't go down too well

seriously you eat this crap on the beach?

Good surf ski skills session and swim with trainees using paddle-boards and both ling and kneeling on the ski. first raft up and transfer at sea. Ideal conditions on a busy beach.

see you all Tuesday 7.30
