Water Safety

MKRC considers water safety to be of great importance to every member of the club and a Safety Adviser is appointed annually, onto the committee, whose duty it is to understand the notes and requirements of the British Rowing (BR) Code of Practice for Water Safety and to advise on their prominent display at all times, their observation and their implementation. Regular Safety Audits are to take place to ensure that all procedures are up to date and being adhered to in order to obtain a certificate of compliance from BR.

MKRC will continue to ensure that members are fully aware and conversant with all rules and regulations on all aspects of safety within the rowing environment at the Caldecotte Lake facility, these include:

– Water Safety for All Members

– Awareness of the Local and BR Water Safety Code

– Equipment Checks

– Boat Transportation

Log Book

A log book exists in the Clubhouse drawer for safety purposes. It will be the responsibility of the cox or steersperson before each session to list the boat and who is going out and to log when you get back in.
