Health and Safety Rules 

She SUPs has endeavoured to maintain the safety of 10K Her Way by encouraging all partnering SUP Schools to cancel their 10k Her Way events if the weather is inclement, and to always have sufficient and well qualified staff. However, we also require your co-operation in relation to health and safety. It is your duty to: 

  • ensure you are currently able to swim 50m; 

  • where you are unsure of your swimming ability you must wear a lifejacket and have the support of a partner SUP school;

  • possess a sufficient level of skill and physical fitness for safe participation; 

  • have no health problems that would make participation unwise; 

  • conduct your own risk assessment relevant to the circumstances before embarking on a paddle, including checking weather and wind and changing plans where necessary;

  • inform any staff and cease the paddle immediately if you feel any unusual discomfort (e.g., faintness, shortness of breath, high anxiety, chest pains); 

  • attempt only paddling routes that you feel capable of performing safely; and 

  • stop any paddle if you believe its unsafe. 

In case of an emergency, you authorise us, or the relevant SUP School to:

  • administer emergency first aid and/or CPR when deemed necessary by staff or volunteers; 

  • secure emergency medical care or transportation where we decide it is necessary; and 

  • seek any medical attention, treatment, surgery or administration of drugs by qualified and licensed medical personnel. 

You further agree to assume all costs of emergency medical care and transportation.
