Water Safety Officers and Judging
Any institution that has 12 or more entries accepted into the competition will be required to provide a water safety officer at the event. This will be required for every 12 competitors accepted, so if an institution has 24 entries accepted, they will need to provide two water safety officers, and so on. Institutions who do not provide their allocation of water safety officers will be fined £150 per officer.
All institutions will also be required to provide judges at allocated points during the competition, which will be published in advance of the event. Any institution that does not provide a judge when required will be fined £50.
