The 23rd of August has a swim in Dun Laoghaire that the organisers are looking for 5 or 6 kayakers to be rescue for.
There is also one on the 19th of September on the Liffey, which will probably clash with the first Dun Laoghaire trip.
Let me know below if you are interested, I presume there will be payment, apparently UCDCC are getting known as a well trained team in this kind of work!
For anyone who doesn't know what's involved, it's usually being present on the water somewhere where people can hold onto you to rest briefly, there is usually a rib that would be present that you might signal if a person can't go on.
23rd - Dun Laoghaire FULL
- Simon
- Ross

Also, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing people physically exerting themselves hugely while you're sitting there chilling

Probably maybe for Liffey Swim
I can help with Dun Laoghaire
Sure stick me down for both. I love supporting local events.
I'm assuming there'll be a few drivers in this crew?
I can't modify my post anymore, so if any committee wants to keep it updated, that would be nice!
Ok, I think that's the Dun Laoghaire one full with me, Simon, Evan, Cormac, Ailbhe, and Aoife.

Ah come on dun laoighre ain't that far, we'll paddle it 🙌
Says the marathon paddler...
I sould be able to drive.
I'll be driving to the dun laoighre one, can drop into ucd on the way. What's the times?
I will have to go to the boathouse anyway to get a boat. I presume we will need to be in larger boats than playboats?
I just woke up like an hour ago but will ask the parents now if I can steal the car for the Dun Laoighre trip if it's needed?
Can you put me down for this Sunday in case anyone drops out.
Is there a driver for the Liffey swim?
I completely forgot about this, and I haven't heard from the guy either actually
Yoooo, can't do Saturday, must log hours. Sure he probably didn't want to pay us :P
So what's the sca?

I'd say at this stage they aren't looking for us...
Diarmuid. You're not funny and no one likes you.
