Swimmer Safety
Swimmer safety is of paramount importance to event organisers. To that end, they have striven to put in place the most rigorous safety measures, including:
-
Ensuring the event complies fully with Masters Swimming Western Australia's strict safety and sanctioning requirements;
-
Choosing Doddi's beach, because its protected shallow water, meets stringent venue selection criteria;
-
Swimmers must wear high visibility swim caps and attend a compulsory race briefing;
-
Prior to and during the swims, the course and swimmers are protected and under constant surveillance:
-
Trained, experienced and vigilant officials that operate under a strict risk management safety plan with the authority to cancel, postpone or suspend the event on the spot.
-
On the water by numerous Rescue Craft (Marine Rescue Boats, Jet Skis and Paddlers) patrolling within as well as around the perimeter of the course; and
-
On the beach, by lifeguards patrolling the beach.
