I have a graze / road rash, can I still swim?

We advise not to swim if you have an open wound, graze or cut.

Whilst the water at Love Open Water venues is tested regularly to ensure it is up to bathing standards, we advise you to stay out of the water until this has healed.

If you cut or graze yourself at one of our sites (either in the water or whilst changing) please notify a member of staff so that they can provide you with an antibacterial wipe and sterile dressing.  On returning home, you should make sure to wash it thoroughly with fresh water, as you would any other cut/graze obtained outdoors.
