Update:

Due to the large sign up this post will now cover the rescue at:

Sluice
- bank based (1+)
* based on central island (requires paddling to get there)
* spotting approaching racers
* rope throwing
- water based (6+)
* boat barging
* towing swimmers to the bank

Sluice chicken chute
- bank based (2+)
* preventing collision with concrete wall (ie pushing boat noses out from bank)
* t-rescues from bank (ie turning people back upright, while standing in an eddy)
- water based (1+)
* boat barging

Leixlip Bridge
- water based (4-6)
* towing swimmers to the bank
* barging boats

Lines with "*" meant to provide a rough guide to expected activity

There tends to be a cohort of frogmen on chicken chute based on last year. They are quite effective, bar someone giving directions little else is required.

I won't promise any rescue locations  at this point, in case anything changes.
