Corsair Bay Water Quality
Here you will find the latest water quality test results taken from Corsair Bay during the 2022-2023 season.
We think it is important you have the latest water testing information as part of your personal pre swim risk assessment “should I swim today?”.
Remember there is always a chance of spot pollution; human poo, animal poo, storm water and sewage are real risks.
Best advice: do not swim for 48hours after significant rain.
The cool thing about this page is it is swimmer led. Contact us (info@fitandabel.com) if you would like to sponsor more swim testing results.
KEY:
0 – 40 ENT per 100ml = Excellent
41 – 140 ENT per 100ml = Good
140 – 200 ENT per 100ml = Possible problem “Scotty”
201 plus ENT per 100ml = little “Johnny” might have done one…
We think you should be cautious above 200ENT.
