Blog 2357: Open Water Swimming at Trent Windsurfing Club

We have received the following communication from Trent Windsurfing Club

" I am sending this e-mail to hopefully communicate to all  swimming clubs in the area to advise that our club waters are not suitable for open water swimming.
We have had a growing number of swimmers down on our lake and in the past we have turned a blind eye, even though it is against the terms of our lease for swimming to occur on the lake.
 
However, after the recent tragic and fatal accident caused by a windsurfing fin hitting a swimmer, it would be negligent if we allowed that to continue.
 
As you are probably well aware, swimming and windsurfing are not compatible in the same water, and from now on we will be more insistent about ensuring that swimmers do not use our lake.
 
Our leaseholders, Cemex also stipulate that no swimming should take place in lakes.
 
For clarity, this link shows you the location of the two lakes which should not be used for swimming.
