Help Track Water Quality Issues in Northern Ireland
What is the Clean Water Sports Alliance NI Seven of Northern Ireland’s water-based National Governing Bodies have joined forces to tackle the growing issue of polluted waterways. The Clean Water Sports Alliance NI brings together Swim Ulster, Paddle NI, Rowing Ireland NI Branch, the Royal Yachting Association Northern Ireland, the Ulster Angling Federation, the National Coarse Fishing Federation Ireland (NCFFI), and Triathlon Ireland. Supported by the NI Sports Forum, this alliance sends a clear message: preserving clean rivers, lakes, and coastal waters is essential for sport, recreation, and community wellbeing. Why Clean Water Matters for Paddlers Polluted water doesn’t just harm wildlife and habitats—it directly impacts us on the water: It jeopardises the health of paddlers by increasing exposure to bacteria and contaminants. It disrupts clubs, coaching, training courses, and qualification pathways when sites become unusable. It undermines the safety and enjoyment of paddles, from beginner session, to club activity and performance athletes. By uniting behind the Clean Water Sports Alliance NI, paddlers and clubs can help shape stronger water-quality policies and secure the future of our sport.
