Additional Notes:

Reminder this is a private property that we are on, and the host has asked if NO DOGS could please be brought onto the private property.
Please remind your students to wear appropriate swimming gear and to have warm clothes to put on after their race as the water could be a bit cold.
Please remind your students to bring a spare pair of slides/shoes to wear into the marshalling area as this is gravel.
