Before you start

Safety & what to expect on day one.

No swimming test required for the first three weeks. Buoyancy aids provided.

Kit

Bring close-fitting kit you can move in. Trainers, a bottle of water, and a towel. The club lends you everything else.

The water

The Corrib is calm above the Quincentennial Bridge during the summer months. River currents and flow are strong in winter and early spring.

Land first

First week is land-based. Ergometer technique, the catch, the drive, the finish. Then you go on the water.
