  • WOWSA Event Charter Alignment

    Acknowledgement

  • Open water swimming runs on trust.
    What brings athletes back year after year is the professionalism, safety, and clarity of the events they choose.
    By joining the WOWSA Directory and Partnership Network, your event becomes part of a global community working to strengthen the credibility and long-term growth of the sport.
    This is not about compliance.
    It is about shared standards and shared responsibility.
    In that spirit, and under the WOWSA Charter, we align around the following commitments:

  • 1. Clear Leadership
    We operate with defined leadership and clear communication before, during, and after our event.

    2. Athlete Safety
    We place athlete safety at the center of our planning and execution, with appropriate safety protocols, qualified support personnel, and emergency readiness suited to our venue and conditions.

    3. Declared Course and Rules
    We clearly define our course, distance, and event standards in advance and communicate any changes transparently.

    4. Accurate Results and Communication
    We publish accurate results and use precise language when describing distances, classifications, and achievements.

    5. Continuous Improvement
    We remain open to shared learning and operational refinement, recognizing that strong events evolve over time.

    Participation in the WOWSA network is not only visibility. It is a contribution.

    Our Shared Ethos

    We stand for:

    • Athlete safety first
    • Transparency in communication
    • Professionalism in delivery
    • Long-term credibility over short-term attention
