Open water - bells and whistles

Its offical - the first beach side AED in Ireland has been installed on our beach !

First aid in place so it green light for swims over the bank holiday.

Skis were taken out of storage and looked very well on the beach - along with the new bell - not heard about it? well its very big, very loud and very sthoee.............

small steps

One step closer to H₂Open<sup>07

First Aid, Defib and racking go into place this weekend - June bank holiday kick off anyone?

A loose decision has been made to do a "light" job to start with to give breathing space for the bigger job. To be honest the new larger open water programme is bigger than we anticipated. There are hundreds of jobs to do so its as simple as do the jobs in order of importance. The big plans are still there its just that small steps seem to be getting us there quicker.

If you have elbow grease and ideas get involved - everyone is welcome</sup>

one step closer to the full programme

It begins. New doors sucessfully in place on the beach. One step closer to the new programme.

Next Saturday we will be having painting and work party session in Howth

happy days !

Good news again from our friends in Howth Coastguard see here for the press coverage

Lifeguard, waterski and wookies

Thanks to everyone who has volunteered for the waterski session (volunteer? queued more like) - the next session is on Friday 1st, with the third session out on the lake with the boat. This really is a new look at something we have been doing for a long time get involved if you can.

Lifes a beach

Well the good news is that there is work being done this month on the beach hut so that it can better accommodate the launching trailer.

Bad news is that the graffiti has undone all the good work from last year.

If you are available to give a couple of hours to painting and general labour please email, bebomail or text your name (086 1595 422) and we will put you on the contact list.

No firm plans but likely that the next couple of swims will be "working" sessions.
