REPORT AN INCIDENT
FILE AN INJURY REPORT
Artistic swimming, like all sports, has its risks. An important role in administering the sport of artistic swimming is the review of all incidents that result in injury to ensure any lessons are captured. This will provide for an improved sport with better safety outcomes. Collecting statistical data allows for the identification of adverse trends or specific issues that require remedial action, and ideally prevents recurrence or further accidents.
Reporting of all incidents that result in injury also ensures insurance compliance. Depending on the nature of the incident, OAS may forward a copy of the Injury Report Form to OAS’s insurer upon receipt.
