Another nights training last night at the most scenic training location going, thanks to Water Safety Ireland Waterford.

For a bit of fun, as the only saying goes “I could do that blindfolded” but some of our members were put to the test last night.

Our CFRs covered many topics which came up at Respond 2026 as well as the practicalities of attending scene and responding to cardiac arrests.

Well done to all the volunteers for giving up their time to commit to training

- A phenomenal increase in bystander CPR from 60 to 85% since 2012
