......... Its coming........

We have an adjudicator

We have a governor

Birthday is coming

DO NOT BE LATE
   

Bank Holiday

Its the Bank Holiday and we're not at the pool

Back to DCU Sunday 3rd November for our birthday month. 

Be on time or lose out!
Its important to arrive on time to lifesaving, if you turn up late you may have to miss the entire session, or the teacher may fill your space with someone else. 

We have a huge number of people trying to join... your space us not reserved - use it or loose it. 

lots of the crew are heading off for a well earned break for what is their first swim of the the next Open Water season. Winter board work is not for everyone but where would you rather be up to your neck in surf off Donegal or in a shopping centre?

plenty more pictures of blood night to follow

This November  it'll be the first time many of you get to meet the little guy , he only turns up once a year.......



Enjoy the bank holiday, 

Blood Night

Hi all,

Myself and Richard would like to thank everyone for last night for all the help with blood night.

Looking trough all the videos that I took last night, there are a lot so it will be a while before I get them edited but I have some pictures for you's, some pretty good injuries.

Also thanks to the bodies who came up extra early and gave a dig out with the decorations and stuff.

Niall.

I went to lifesaving and all I got was......

...... a severed arm, bruises, burns , breaks, and the living bejazus scared out of me

Blood night is tonight, a positively ghoulish night of first aid and casualty simulation.

How to treat a vampire bite? Attacked by a zombie? Difference between a lifeguards emergency first aid kit and a vampire emergency kit?

important lifesaving skills like zombie invasion planning, different vampire bites, triage and injury assessment - werewolf or zombie?, púca or ghoul?

We've gallons of blood, wads of fake flesh, fake injuries, and a cast straight from the hammer house of horror.

Dress to unimpress, it's a night for old clothes...... crucifixes, silver bullets and wooden stakes.

Do not be late.
Do be afraid,
be very afraid
