My Water Quality: Swimming Safety

The California Swim Guide is a regional snapshot of the work and information collected and displayed by Canada’s Swim Guide program. Swim Guide is a website and smartphone app for iPhone® and Android. It helps you easily find your closest beaches, know at a glance which ones are safe for swimming, and share your love of beaches with friends and family. Swim Guide delivers free real-time water quality information for over 7,000 beaches, lakes, rivers, and swimming holes in Canada, the U.S., Mexico, the Bahamas, Ireland, France, Denmark, New Zealand, Australia, and Kenya. Swim Guide is available in English, French, and Spanish. Created and managed by Swim Drink Fish Canada (formerly Lake Ontario Waterkeeper), Swim Guide can be used by any public interest club, organization, or agency to share beach information with the public. The data collected and displayed by the Swim Guide is of varying quality and should only be used as an information tool and not for regulatory or enforcement purposes.
