Killarney Water Rescue Open Day

By Sean Moriarty
Killarney Water Rescue will be hosting its first open day on Sunday.
Members of the public are invited to visit the Gleneagle Hotel car park from 10am to 2pm where volunteers will have a range of equipment on display.
Highlights include the organisation’s new inflatable rescue craft and and demonstrations of how the equipment works.
“If you are interested in learning more about the club, training, or even for a chat, then please join us on the day,” said Killarney Water Rescue’s Michael Mac Sweeney.
“The club has at least one training session a month where we run through the topography of the waterways, coxswain skills, diver coxswain skills, radio skills, ropework, towing, search, and swift water techniques.”
Killarney Water Rescue is a voluntary-based service that operates 24/7, 365 days a year, and supports other clubs and services such as Kerry Mountain Rescue, Killarney Fire and Rescue Service, Irish Underwater Search and Recovery Council, National Parks and Wildlife Service, Garda Síochána, and the Irish Coast Guard.
