☆ Wetsuits & Towfloats COMPULSORY!! #

01/06/2026

SPACES AVAILABLE!! PM TO BOOK👌

For all Juniors who have signed up for Open Water Swimming

STARTING Wed 3RD JUNE Rosses Point!

5.45pm - Meet at Beachery for Roll Call
6.00pm - Enter Water for Session

✔️All swimmers must be fully dressed by 5.45pm with full length wetsuit & tow float and a pair of well fitted goggles. Please ensure the towfloat is adjusted to size before entering water.

✔️I would highly recommend to ensure your child has vaseline or body glide on any areas that may get chaffed from the wetsuit. Neck, underarms, back of knees etc. This can cause huge discomfort for the children when swimming if it's not applied liberally before putting suit on.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
If swimmers are not signed in at 5.45pm for any reason you ARE NOT TO ENTER THE WATER. This is strictly for safety reasons so please do not put your children or our coaches in a position that could cause any problems.

Are u ready for Open Water 2026 coached Open Water Sessions?

Please note what equipment is Compulsory and what equipment is not compulsory but recommended.

☆ Another item i would recommend are ear plugs specifically ones that still allow you to hear instructions while in the sea. For obvious reasons we dont recommend the others that leave you completely hard of hearing. Call into to get fitted for these.

☆ Dry Ear Spray is an amazing product that helps gets rid of stubnorn water in ear after swimming. It also helps refuce infection from being in water. I absolutely swear by this product and have been uaing it for years. It can be purchased in most pharmacies but after doing a lot of research it is available in
at the lowest price of €12.95. Nicholsons pharmacy is in town opposite Bank of Ireland and next to Matt Lyons shop. Pop in and .nicholson.7 or any of her staff who will be more than happy to advice you.
