Bob Bruce will be joining us in a 60- to 75-minute conversation to talk about all things open water. No question is too off-the-wall (because there are no walls in open water,) for example:
• What does the referee do at an open water event? How can they know what’s really going on out there?
• If I want to put on an open water event, how many lifeguards, kayakers and boats will I need to have my safety plan approved?
• When do you call off a race? Due to weather, water temp, high bacteria or the emergency medical truck drove down on the beach and is now stuck in the sand?
These questions and more from you will be discussed and answered! Plus we’re looking for your recommended practices on planning, sanctioning and running open water events.
Ways you can get your item into the conversation:
Share it at the teleconference with your peers
Post it to the USMS Forums LMSC Administration/Open Water Event Directors
Email your question in advance to Daniel Cox @ danielcox@usms.org
We’re looking forward to having you be part of the conversation!
