Hyde Park Triathlon

Nigel Snowshall, David Tidball, Sarah Beresford, Felicity Elliott, Little Tom Jones, Sophie Waddell and Georgia Slatter were our contribution to the rescue cover provided in London's famous Hyde Park last weekend, armed with the Arancia Rescue Boat and some Paddle boards. A great weekend was had and though tiring it was well worth the effort for the club.

Paddle round the Pier

Finally the photos are here from the club members, BK And SGT Jim that provided both safety cover and taught Stand Up Paddle boarding to the kids, some with disabilities and Adults that came to visit the largest water sports festival in Europe held in Brighton every year, for a number of select charities every year.

Emilys Peruvian Return

Following her return from helping a school in the remote village of Patacancha in the Sacred Valley. we are holding a BBQ 27/7.


Remember bring some beers and boards, but not to much food as there is still some left over from the last one!!  

Club Patrol 25/7/10

This weeks patrol was very quiet incident wise, considering how busy and hot the shores were.
The lifeguard team were split between Exmouth and Hyde Park for the Triathlon. however we still maintained our two posts on Orcombe Point and Maer rocks, which was the main culprit for the 8 cut feet, one cut knee and finger we provided assistance to and treated.
