Competitions 2009

While the summer of 2009 was a washout, it did not daunt the young Clare people who trained extensively under a team of volunteer coaches. The ultimate test of their training and skills was challenged in competing provincially, nationally and at European level demonstrating the lifesaving skills that are a lifeline in emergencies. All events at these competitions are based on the skills required by lifesavers and lifeguards and the equipment used by them in carrying out their duty.
