Junior's Letter
26th September 2005
Hi Snorkelers,
Its’ what you all have been waiting for: POOL SNORKEL SESSIONS
RETURN ON SUNDAY 2ND October at 7pm to 8pm and will continue through
the winter on following Sundays:
9th October
16th October
23rd October
6th November
13th November
20th November
27th November
4th December
Please take note of the following points for the winter pool
sessions:
• All snorkelers must be ready in the changing rooms by
6.55pm for entry into the pool at 7pm.
• All snorkelers must be signed in with the Evening instructor-
no one is allowed in the pool unless they have signed in with
the evening instructor.
• A swim hat must be worn at all times, bring one or borrow
one before you get in the pool- Newpark are very strict on this
matter.
• If you have your logbooks, please bring it along on the
first night back and have your snorkels signed off by me.
• For anyone who hasn’t paid their fees and due to
insurance purposes, all fees for 2005 must be paid immediately
as anyone who has not paid will not be allowed in the pool.
• Each Snorkeler will be assigned to a group and the first
week will be technique revision; after week 1 you will start learning
new techniques for your next grade; mid way through the winter
sessions we will have guest instructors to teach underwater hockey
and rugby games & techniques for training and the last couple
of weeks, we will concentrate on getting ready for tests in Spring
as well as improving your games ability.
Junior Snorkel notes:
1. Mike’s bikes in Dun Laoghaire were selling kids wetsuits
from €25, it is a good time to invest in wetsuits for next
year at this reasonable price, go along and see if there is one
to suit you!
2. Congratulations to all those who have attained their next
snorkel grade and to the senior group who were training for their
next grade and well done for all the hard work during the year.
Lastly, I won't be taking on the role of Junior Snorkeling officer
this year since I am getting married in March and the distance
from home is too far and not practical anymore. Declan Coughlan
has offered to perform this role and will be supported by a core
group of instructors who will be the ‘Evening Instructor’
on Sunday nights as well as a Rota of divers from the club. I
will continue to support in an administrative role, getting letters
out, other paperwork/emails etc.
Hope to see you all back on 2nd October to start your training
for the next Snorkel grade!
Regards,
Elena Coyle.
