Worried about Water Quality at Your Favorite Beach? Check Out Our Swim Guide!

If you read the Post & Courier article, “SC beaches drop in water quality in 2011, NRDC report says,” you might be worried about the water quality at your favorite beach.  Well there’s an app for that.  It’s our Swim Guide and it shows you where the water quality at our local beaches meets EPA and DHEC standards for safe swimming.  It’s based on the most up-to-date water quality data available so you can make an informed decision about when and where you get in the water.

We’re currently working to provide the same information and data about our local rivers and creeks–because we all know we don’t swim and recreate only at the beach. Visit our crowdmap to show us your favorite spots to swim, kayak, and stand-up paddleboard. We’ll test the most popular areas as part of our Water Quality Monitoring Project and publish the results for you.

We need your help to make it happen. Charleston Waterkeeper is supported 100% by people like you. Consider empowering our Water Quality Monitoring Project by offering your support.
