The BCU is concerned over the poor water quality on some canoeable waters and urges the appropriate authorities to continue action to bring all waters to European Union standards within the shortest affordable time span employing the most cost effective methods. The decision as to whether or not to go afloat must rest with the canoeists and canoeing leaders, acting on their own responsibility from accessible information on water quality. It should be noted that, where deliberate capsizing is avoided, canoeing is not an "immersion" sport and poses no greater risk to participants than other "water contact" sports.
