Guns may only be carried by those over 18 years or under the supervision of a person over 21 years. When not in use, guns must be stored in a secure place (i.e., in a vehicle, out of sight). Any breach of safety rules may result in disqualification.

Please could team managers ensure all competitors are strong enough swimmers to complete at least one length of the pool (25m) confidently.

Please provide accurate details of swim distance on the entry form.

Beanies will start in the pool and be allowed a flotation aid, and while we will endeavour to satisfy outside lane requests it might not be possible to cater for all requests.
