Course Information

SH₂OUT is an exciting programme that has been developed through a partnership between British Triathlon and the Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK). The programme aims to further promote and progress open water swimming, through providing a safety standard for open water swimming venues, events and clubs to align to. The provision of safe and suitable open water venues is key to growing the sport and allowing more people to engage in open water swimming in Britain.

We want to support you as clubs to offer the best session for your club members. A few key questions to ask yourself before you start swimming this season are:
•    Is my safety reasonable for the activity/course length/number of swimmers?
•    Do I have enough water quality data? Am I doing the right amount of testing?
•    Do my safety team have the right qualifications?
•    Do I have a process for counting the swimmers in and out of the water?
•    How will I make sure the swimmers are visible to the safety team when in the water?
•    Do I give swimmers all the information they need to have a great swimming experience?

Why not attend the SH₂OUT info evening with Helen Bowker, National Open Water Delivery Manager at Dudley Leisure Centre, 6-9pm.
