ACCESSIBILITY AND INCLUSION
Sunday Quiet Wave with Headway We’re partnering with Headway, the brain injury association, to open a quiet half mile wave on the Sunday of our event at 2pm. The wave is open to all swimmers who want to get in the water in a quieter environment. We will have low level music and PA playing and a reduce capacity so swimmers can get in the water with plenty of space around them. Headway support people who have been affected by brain injuries as well as their loved ones, at every stage of their journey. They said “a brain injury survivor can experience a huge range of debilitating symptoms; attending bright, noisy, crowded events is often not possible as they can exacerbate these symptoms, contributing to feelings of isolation and exclusion. Being able to participate in the Quiet Wave changes that; it will enable survivors to enjoy all the event has to offer, free from additional stress and anxiety”.
