SAFETY.
CLUB WATER SAFETY ADVISOR:

It is no longer just the responsibility of the coach or CWSA to file a report. Anyone who is involved with or witnesses an incident can make a report and it can be done anonymously if required. British Rowing expects any such report to be filed within 24 hours of the incident occurring.
So what constitutes an ‘incident’? The answer, according to British Rowing, is anything; The guide quotes; collisions (with anything), near collisions (with anything), capsizes, swampings, health issues, equipment failure, land based accidents in weights room, bays, running, and cycling.
To report an incident please see below:
- Online through the British Rowing website
