Want to know if it is safe to swim in area waterways? Check out the Coosa River Basin Initiative’s Swim Guide! The guide will offer information about water quality through Labor Day weekend, says Courtnee Davenport, Director of Outreach. She adds that interns will monitor rivers, lakes, and other local bodies of water for harmful bacteria throughout the Summer.
Popular swimming spots covered by the Swim Guide include Lake Allatoona, Lake Weiss, Cedar Creek, and more, states Davenport.
The Swim Guide may be viewed online at www.coosa.org/swim-guide or by downloading the Swim Guide App on a smartphone.
