Along with providing a Rescue Service to the Kenmare Bay Region D.I.R provides rescue cover for Community events such as several triathlons and regattas every year. At the triathlons we co-ordinate all rescue operations, we give a safety talk and supervise all swimmers during the swim.

We also set up the swimming course if needs be. We usually support local triathlons and regattas but do travel to provide our services as required. An example of this would be the Farran Wood triathlon in Cork. We receive a very welcome contribution from the organizers.

Their contribution for the service we provide is a very important part of our fundraising. These Triathlons and Regattas do require a considerable amount of crew and resources (petrol being the biggest!)  and as a result we are limited to the amount we do annually.
