RNLI swim next Saturday – entries and volunteers
Entries are coming in steadily for next Saturday and the forecast looks favourable. If you’re not in and you’re going to enter, please do so today or early in the week.
Click here to enter on Active.
For those not competing, volunteers are always welcome. We’d like plenty of cover for timekeepers, bag drops etc. All help is welcome. If you can spare some time, please email myrtlevilleswimmers@gmail.com or tweet @MyrtlevilleS and we’ll put you on the list of vital helpers 🙂
Timekeeping team 2015 – Yvette McKeown, Claire Canning, Aisling Barry, Gary Frost & Peter Frost.
AirShorts – de latest ting, like.
With the recent Huubistic activity around the beach, it’s interesting to see that their new product – the KickPant – is being launched onto the market at the same time as a new offering from our old friends in Harcon PLC, fronted – as ever – by Don Denis himself.
The KickPant looks de berries, but is really only designed for wearing in the water.
The Huub KickPant – just new to the market to help improve swimming posture.
The new Harcon product – AirShorts – will clearly give a massive lift in the water but are also suitable for – to quote Don Denis – “De Mnás doing the housework, like they should”. Denis has a way with de mnás.
Some of you may recall poor old Mad Moz Morrison getting a hard time from the other desperados down West – Mr. Finbarr and The Bull most notably – for wearing rubber underpants when he was swimming. Just goes to show Moz was ahead of his time and the mainstream of swimmers are only catching up on his fashion lead.
AirShorts will be allowed in the RNLI Myrtleville-Church Bay Swim on June 18th and no doubt will be for sale, as usual, from the back of a van.
Get entered now – the forecast is looking good 🙂
RNLI Swim promoted by TV3 – get entered!
With boiling sea temperatures, there’s really no excuse not to get 1,500m or more done in the sea and get entered for the RNLI Myrtleville – Church Bay Swim on June 18.
TV3 visited the beach yesterday and carried a nice piece on water safety and training for the RNLI swim, as well as an interview with our new pin-up mnás, Ann Lynch & Fiona Foley and lingering shots of Anne Sheehy preparing to take off.
Paul Byrne from TV3 gets the lowdown on safe open water swimming from Ms. Lynch & Ms. Foley.
I just love the look of awestruck respect from Fiona as Ann waxes lyrical on her chosen specialised subject of sea swimming. No wonder Bernard is so knowledgeable with Ann to guide him. Fiona never knew that Ann was a font of knowledge on tides, weather etc. We’ll have a night down in the Coast Guard Station with her soon. “An evening with Ann”.
And as for Ms. Sheehy….
The camera loves her – lingering shots of the Myrtle Turtle preparing to swim.
So come on everyone – be inspired and get entered.
Headed for June: get entered for June 18.
