Start: 2.00pm. No wet-suits. Tow floats mandatory.
Norman Jones has again very generously offered his services as Head of Safety, as required by the Club and our Risk Assessment Plan.
The Entry Form is attached below.
A couple of points relating to it:
- Norman is familiar with the Open Water experience of 99% of those who have participated in previous years, and of those who plan to compete again this year. However as a requirement of the Risk Assessment if you have NOT previously competed in this event we request that you add this information to the appropriate section of the Entry Form. Thanks.
- Ingrid will again be designing and creating the Awards given to all finishers. Many of you will know that these Awards have been a much loved feature of previous years, and that they have become “collector’s items”.
As always, safety is paramount and we will have support boats/canoes patrolling the section of river we use.
Space is limited. Our event can support a maximum of 50 swimmers (width of river, narrow-boat traffic) so get your entries in to us as soon as possible. We have had no reports to date of sewage and other effluents in this section of the Nene. We will be regularly checking this with Anglian Water.
We very much look forward to seeing old and new faces again at Barnwell.
Swimmingly,
Jeremy and Ingrid HUNTER
