How can you help protect our eco-systems.
As an open water swimmer, you can do your bit to help protect the eco-systems in our fresh water ponds, lakes, rivers and streams.
You should to ensure that your swimming equipment does not transfer organisms from one water way to another. You can help do that by following these simple guidelines.
CHECK, CLEAN & DRY
* CHECK your equipment and clothing for live organisms – particularly in areas that are damp or hard to inspect.
* CLEAN and wash all equipment, footwear and clothes thoroughly as soon as you exit the water. Use hot water when possible. If you do come across any organisms, leave them at the water body where you found them.
* DRY all equipment and clothing – some species can live for many days in moist conditions.
