Jump into Swim Guide 2026! From Memorial Day to Labor Day, Coosa Riverkeeper and our team of Seasonal Employees take to the water to test popular swimming holes, so you can get the skinny before you dip!
What are we testing for? E. coli, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and more! We use a simple stoplight system so you know when is the best time to jump in! Green = low E. coli, yellow = moderate E. coli, red = high E. coli.
Swim Guide helps families and communities make informed decisions on where it is safe to swim, emphasizes the importance of clean water, and where we like to jump in for a swim! All of the data collected from this program is made free to the public all through the summer.
Check out our social media every Friday at noon to see the current status of over 40 swimming sites across the Coosa! We can’t wait to see you on the water!
