RULES OF THE LAKE/ TRAINING CENTRE AND CONDITIONS OF EVENT ENTRY

Important: Please read these rules carefully

All swimmers must be in good health and have no known medical condition that would restrict their ability to participate in open water swimming and related activities, including (if relevant) swim racing, aquathlon or taking part in a coached session or clinic (together the "Open Water Swimming Activities", and each an "Open Water Swimming Activity"). All swimmers must ensure that they are fit and well enough on the day to undertake such Open Water Swimming Activities.

All swimmers agree to swim entirely at their own risk and in the unlikely event of injury, accident, loss or damage suffered to their person or their property, regardless of however it may be caused, no responsibility whatsoever shall be attached to the organisers, sponsors or any persons involved in the organisation of the Open Water Swimming Activities.

All swimmers must complete a declaration agreeing to obey all the clauses laid down in these rules and regulations prior to taking part in their first Open Water Swimming Activity. All swimmers must also have previously, and within the current calendar year, completed a Bray Lake Watersports swimming waiver. These rules are established with safety as the most important concern but we are also dedicated to helping you have a really enjoyable experience with The Triathlon Training Centre.

SAFETY

All swimmers at Bray Lake will be required to complete a waiver which is valid for that calendar year agreeing to the following:

Agree to follow all the rules and orders from the Bray Lake Watersports organisers and personnel helping at the lake.

Certify that you are physically fit and have no pre-existing medical conditions that would affect you swimming in open water.

Assume all risks associated with swimming in the lake

Waive, release and discharge the Bray Lake Watersports and will not make any claim against them.

Agree to swim at my own risk and understand the dangers associated with swimming in open water, with the potential for serious personal injury, property loss or illness.

The waiver can be found HERE (which can be printed and taken with you for your first swim) or can be completed at the lake before your first swim session.

ALWAYS: SIGN IN & OUT OF WATER (BY RETURNING THE BAND YOU ARE GIVEN WHEN YOU SIGN IN). You will be required to write down an emergency contact number.

The numbered band should be worn VISIBLE on your ANKLE whilst in the water and returned to the reception desk. We then know you are safe and out of the water.

FIRST TIMERS PLEASE INFORM STAFF AT REGISTRATION This is so we can take extra care to ensure you have a safe swim.

EVERYONE must follow all instructions or regulations displayed or given on the day by a member of staff.

ALL swimmers must be capable of swimming unaided continuously for 200m (and we recommend you should be able to swim unaided continuously for at least 400m).

EVERYONE must enter and exit the water at the designated areas only, unless in the case of an emergency.

STRICTLY NO DIVING OR JUMPING into the water at any time.

EVERY CHILD (under 16) MUST complete and pass the "Junior Swim Test" to the satisfaction of Bray Lake Watersports management before being permitted to swim at Bray Lake. All children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult in the water unless an exemption is provided by Bray Lake Watersports management. If there are a group of more than two Under 16s, more than one adult must accompany them in the water.

ALL CHILDREN under 16 are limited to the 200 and 400m loops unless they are strong swimmers AND a member of staff has confirmed they may swim on the longer loops.

ALL CHILDREN under 16 must swim in a wetsuit unless an exemption is provided by Bray Lake Watersports management.

WEAR A WETSUIT This will not only keep you warm but will also act as a buoyancy aid. (If you are a member of an open water swimming association or training for a non wetsuit event you may be exempt from this rule, but only if you seek prior permission, please inform us when you sign in and tick in the brackets on the sign in sheet).

SWIM IN SIGHT OF THE CLUB HOUSE ON THE DESIGNATED SWIM LOOPS If you can't see us - we can't see you.

NOVICE open water swimmers please stick to the smaller loops of 200m or 400m - the 750m 1000m loops are longer than you think.

EVERY SWIMMER MUST swim in a anti-clockwise direction on all swim route. Please swim responsibly!

PLEASE NOTE: as ALL the swim loops are measured with GPS and are accurate and at all time within sight of the clubhouse - if you are not on the loop you are swimming "out of bounds"!!

SWIM WITH A BUDDY IF POSSIBLE If you get in to trouble, you are not alone, we don't stipulate that you have to swim with someone but we do encourage it for your own safety, if this is not possible then please swim responsibly and know your own limits.

RAISE YOUR ARM FOR ATTENTION If you can not make it to shore, roll onto your back and if possible raise your arm and wait for help.

HYGEINE: SHOWER AFTER SWIMMING To reduce the chance of any infection please shower after you come out of the lake. This is also a precaution against Weil's disease. Wash any open wounds and ears, etc. If you develop any flu like symptoms it is important to see your GP and tell him that you have been swimming in open water.

CHANGING FACILITIES

The club house changing room and toilet facilities will be open. Please respect these facilities by keeping them clean and tidy.

Event entries can be transferred to another participant for an administration fee of £5 and provided the participant to which the Event entry is transferred to, completes our online health information and indemnity waiver prior to entry to that Event.

A participant can cancel a coached one to one (or two to one or three to one) session and receive a full refund or transfer to another suitable date by providing not less than 2 business days notice. Failure to provide 2 business days notice will result in the full coached fee being due and payable, if payment has not been paid prior to the cancellation.
