Inductions:
Cold Water Inductions are required between November 1 - 31 March or whenever the water temperature drops below 15 degrees. If you’ve previously completed the NOWCA Cold Water Induction (online or onsite) this should be marked against your profile (check with your Venue Manager onsite). If you haven’t completed the induction before, you will need to do this before swimming at the venue in the winter season.
