Disclaimer
During the bathing season, the quality and safety of the water is checked at official bathing water spots. You can see in the app when the check has been performed and when the next check is. Based on these checks, a report is issued with advice whether or not to go swimming. You can then decide for yourself whether or not you want to swim there, unless a ban has been issued. If you do decide to go swimming despite a warning or negative swimming advice, you take a greater risk of health problems. It is always wise to shower after swimming in natural water. Outside the bathing season, the bathing water is not examined.
