SWIM CANCELLATION:
If we are unable to hold the swim on the chosen date due to circumstances beyond our control, Chillswim will attempt to restage the swim at the earliest possible date and no refunds will be given. If we are unable to restage the event then swim entry only, minus a £10 administration fee will be refunded. Chillswim has no responsibility for additional costs incurred such as travel and accommodation. We hope that you would still be able to travel and enjoy the area in which the event was planned.

EVENT SAFETY:
Chillswim coaching/group coaching (not solo length of lake swims) participants must wear a tow-float throughout the swim. This is a safety precaution to help visibility in the water. It is not a life saving device and cannot be treated as such. It is up to the individual to be able to swim the distance in varying weather conditions, as a tow-float will not prevent a swimmer from drowning.

AGE LIMIT:
Competitors must be older than 16 years on the day of the event, unless on family swims and open water swim coaching.

MEDICAL:
Open water is a strenuous exercise. To avoid any doubt in your health and fitness, you should undertake a medical check-up including an ECG test before starting training for this event. The medical must be signed by your GP, state reference to your intended swim, and be uploaded onto the entry system no later than 4 weeks before your swim. Please do not post hard copies to us. If you have been ill or have experienced a change in your wellbeing or physical state such as pregnancy, please consult a doctor.

TRAINING FOR OPEN WATER:
All competitors must train in open water before participating in the event. It is your responsibility to make sure that you are fully prepared and the event organisers cannot be held responsible for any lack of preparation on your part. When open water swimming down the length of a lake you may encounter varying conditions such as waves and choppy water. You should be prepared for varying types of weather by regular outdoor swimming.

During the event all swimmers must follow and comply with the instructions given by safety staff including the appropriate distance from the support boat. This includes instructions once the swim has started, where the event may be halted due to reasons beyond our control such as, but not limited to: lightning, bad weather, or a serious incident during the event.
