Swimming competitions are generally composed of two competition sessions: one in the morning and one in the afternoon or evening. Prior to the races, the Athletes will be present at the Venue to train and warm up. They generally arrive around 2.5 to 3 hours before the beginning of the competition. As a result, often a significant number of Athletes are swimming in the pool, walking around or near the pool, and/or exercising or stretching. In addition, Athletes often practice isolated elements of their race (e.g., the start) or swim different strokes. This volume and proximity of Athletes can give rise to a higher risk of collisions and accidents, both in and out of the water.
