No refunds for Perthshire swimming event participants despite raw sewage leak forcing cancellation

Participants at a Highland Perthshire outdoor swimming event that was called off halfway through due to a raw sewage leak will not be offered refunds by organisers.

In a statement, SwimWild said this is because the Scottish Winter Swimming Championships on Loch Tay was already well underway at the point of cancellation.

The team added that expenses - including venue hire, setup costs and ambulance cover - for the event at Taymouth Marina had already been paid for.
