Why this site

A plain answer

Answers one question: can I swim here? In plain language, in English and French, accessible to everyone.

Honest about old data

When a beach hasn't been sampled in 14 days, we withdraw the assessment rather than show a stale verdict.

Eleven years of context

Every reading since 2015, charted for every beach, so you can see at a glance whether this week is normal or unusual.
