Before You Swim
Safer Seas & Rivers App
Before taking a dip, it's worth checking the water quality using the Safer Seas & Rivers Service app. This is completely normal practice all around the UK — the app gives you real-time information on bathing water quality at beaches nationwide, including pollution alerts from heavy rainfall or other temporary issues. It's a simple and reassuring thing to check, and it only takes a moment.
