Avoid swimming for at least 48 hrs following heavy or prolonged rain

Due to the heavy rain and high river flows experienced across the region in recent days, no samples were collected this week at our monitored swim sites.

As always, it is advised to avoid swimming for at least 48 hours following heavy or prolonged rainfall and follow the Swim Smart Checklist

Many rivers are at above average or at high flows for this time of year so check the water is clean and clear and be aware of potential hazards.

Weekly sampling at monitored swim sites will recommence from Monday 2 Feb.
