Sean O Sullivan Memorial Swim Rescue Kayakers Needed
Posted: Mon Aug 10, 2015 1:46 pm
Hey lads,
So this swim is going ahead again this year on Sunday September 6th. I haven't been told a time yet but we'll probably be needed for around 10am.
For those of you who don't know, Sean O Sullivan was a swimming coach who trained an awful lot of high performance swimmers and lifeguards in Clare and further afield before his death a few years ago. Every September his family organise a charity swim in the UL Activity Centre to commemorate him. We usually go to provide kayaking safety cover for the 2-300 swimmers that take part. It's completely voluntary but everyone who goes will be fed very very well afterwards and we usually get some sort of a goody bag each too. Should be back at the Boathouse that day at around 3pm.
I'd like as many volunteers as possible because this is for a very good cause but only sign up if you are certain you can go. We aren't having another Hell of the West scenario.
Attending So Far:
1. Cathal
2. Patrick
3. Cormac
4. Brian
5. Sinead
6. Bobby
7. Mark
8. John (Probable)
9. Josh (Probable)
10. Conor
11. Diarmaid
