Synopsis
This book reveals what creates an environment that allows locals to excel on the national and international stages., Skibbereen Rowing Club is home to Ireland's first Olympic medal winners for rowing, the O'Donovan brothers. Furthermore, it has developed several others Olympians, as well as World. European and a record number of National champions. From humble beginnings, Skibbereen has risen to become Ireland's most successful rowing club. This is its story, told from the point of view of the members who founded the club in the 1970s, those rowers who first put the club on the map in the 1980s and 1990s, all the way up to the current members, coaches and rowers, who have taken the club to new, previously unforeseen heights. After reading this book you will surely believe that, when it comes to rowing, there must be something in the water in Skibbereen. Book jacket., Olympic rowers Gary and Paul O'Donovan may be the face of Irish rowing and Skibbereen Rowing Club, and have enormously increased the popularity of rowing in Ireland, but they're just one piece of a much larger jigsaw. Without their club and the people behind the scenes, they wouldn't be Olympic silver medalists, 2018 world champions, former European champions and, in Paul's case, a three-time world champion. Almost one hundred Skibbereen Rowing Club athletes have represented Ireland at various regattas over the years; a staggering figure when viewed in light of the size of the club. Founded in 1970, it is now the undisputed most successful rowing club in the country, producing five Olympic rowers since 2000 and four world champions between 2016 and 2018. It is the characters involved in the club, the coaches, members and the athletes themselves, who come together to make Skibbereen Rowing Club what it is. Something in the Water reveals what goes on behind the scenes to create an environment that allows locals to excel on the national and international stages. The story is told through the people and families involved, showing how relatable they are to people around the country.

    Lightening fast shipping— seller shipped in one day. I needed the camera for a trip to Spain/Switzerland and seller made sure I was taken care of and that I got it on time. Seller said item had flaws but I received in mint condition. Communicated quickly and was kind to help me despite their busy schedule. Very well packaged.Thank you
