How're ya folks.

Every now and again we get members with disabilities (physical or mental) joining the club.
Some people can be a bit nervous / apprehensive when it comes to getting them on the water.

This in mind I've been in contact with Ciarán Murphy who's a national trainer of the ISA and runs training courses for working with different disabilities. The course takes about three hours and it's extremely interactive from what I gather.

It will be running at 7.30 on the 13th of October and it'll be limited to 15 places. First come first served.
It finishes with a practical session on the pool!

Still finalising if we get it subsidised fully or not. But the most it could possibly be is €10, if it's not free!

If you've any ambition of being a coach in the future do this course. It'll help you adapt tasks and games for all levels not just people with disabilities.

Great idea.

You don't need to be an instructor Patrick.
Sheep, like all wool-bearing animals, instinctively travel north, where it's colder, and they won't be so stuffy.
