Water Quality:

Water quality is a top concern for us, which is why we conduct thorough monthly checks carried out, by South East Water Scientific Services during April to October, to ensure that it meets and exceeds the stringent standards set by British Triathlon Water Quality limits. 

Detailed levels will be posted outside the Dinton Activity Centre reception and our Water Quality report will be posted online regularly. Please read our latest report:

 

Results will be expected to meet the ITU Water Quality Tolerance Limits:

  • pH between 6 and 9
  • E. coli not more than 200 per 100ml
  • Enterococcus 35 per 100ml

These regular assessments guarantee that you can enjoy our water-based activities with complete peace of mind, knowing that your safety is our top priority.
