a piece of heaven

Another two part day.

The demo team spent an extended period of time in beautiful Golden lakes beside Pollaphuca. We were told to expect a little piece of heaven but were not expecting the welcome, the venue and the view.

After a tour of the lake by boat to get an idea of the set up and scale we did an extended theory session with the team. With music from Oxegen muted in the distance we hit the water for a number of rescues, turns and even some spinal work. Fish boy scooped up crayfish which raided a smile ahead of thunder suspending the session.

After the weather cleared we finished in the lake with some swimming and one on one training.

Second part of the day was back to DCU for our Sunday swim with the last of the exams - congrats to all who passed.

2 swims for the last time this summer as we move to the summer timetable from Thursday. (we we reduce our swims from 2 to 5 a week!)

Sincere thanks to everyone who gave all or part of today to one either or both of the sessions - you are sthoee at it best

going to be a busy week (again) - struts arrive for the boathouse
