Poor water quality in the River Thames has been in the news a lot recently.
While we are a Paddlesports organisation, there is lots of advice available for all watersports.
At Kingston Scouts Canoe Club we have always asked for any cuts to be covered up before taking part in our activities and a shower or bath afterwards.
Please see the below link to some guidance from British Rowing which we feel summarises nicely the advice and information for best practice.
