that was good fun

This night one year ago on a balmy sunday night in Clontarf we packed up the gear for the last time and moved out (info). We had no pool to go to, were traveling around meeting managers and had the inkling of an idea for open water and an AED programme.

Roll forward one year. What a year. Without question our most sucessful, our most imaginative and our most positive - perhaps a quick overview

> Lifesaving - increased numbers, massive growth in attendance, incredible new venue, loads of new gear
> Open Water - our own boathouse, great changing facilities, loads of new gear
> Pool Lifeguard - re-established the program removing a key issue - a lot of development work required here
> Beach Lifeguard - Claremont - need we say more
> AED - live defib in place, 6 trainers, great sponsorship and community involvement
> Boat programe started
and our great new Assistant Teacher team

absolute magic

so this week 4 nights of sthoee events, pool session this evening was probably the highest attended we have ever had. chill out, nothing too serious or strenuous.

so end of the night as people were packing up one of our younger member came up to the training team and said "that was good fun - thanks"

and that is about the best summary of the last 12 months we could have
