National Water Safety Awareness Week. 

National Water Safety Awareness Week begins on Monday 18^th June – it’s a reminder to us all of how vital it is that we make water safety a bigger part of the national conversation. This campaign strives to spur us all to be more aware of the very real and often unseen dangers that water poses but if we can be more conscious about water safety, together we really can bring the number of drownings in Ireland down.

We had our final enrolment this evening and the camp is now full.

Enrolment for Aughris Water Safety Week will take place on Monday MAY 28th 8pm to 9pm in Skreen/Dromard Community Centre.

As numbers are limited we cannot guarantee spaces.

Looking for Christmas present ideas for your Nipper, Junior or Senior?

Why not treat them to some club clothing available now from Jako. You can order in their Sligo store or online at https://www.jako.ie/shop-by-team/irish-lifesaving

A huge congratulations to all the Nippers from Sligo Surf Lifesaving Club who travelled to Castlebar to compete on March 6th.

They did Sligo proud by bringing back a great collection of medals (and having great fun in the process). Well done guys, all that hard work in the pool paid off.

It’s fantastic that so many of you will be heading to the National Championships in Dublin in April.

Thanks to Mum Therese O’Loughlin for taking the photos.
