Our partner, Lake Ontario Waterkeeper, has spent years creating the Swim Guide App to help you enjoy, celebrate, and care for your local waterbody. The Swim Guide is funded entirely by donations from individuals (like you), foundations, and corporate partners. The app is now available on Android, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch to help you:
- Find your closest beach
- Discover a wide variety of beaches, ranging from city parks to remote lakes ideal for camping
- Compare real-time and historical water quality information for many different beaches
- Get directions to the beach of your choice
- Bookmark your favorite beaches for easy access
- Share your favorite beaches with friends on Facebook and Twitter
Download the App at www.theswimguide.org
The Swim Guide helps you report any pollution problems or environmental concerns that you may spot when you are at the beach. Use the Report button to notify your local Waterkeeper, and we will help you protect your favorite beach.
The Swim Guide integrates with your Google maps app, so you can get walking, transit, or driving directions to the beach of your choice.
The Swim Guide is the only charity app of its kind:
Like to swim? The app connects you to water organizations working to protect your beach
Want to get involved? The app helps you volunteer, learn more, or donate to charity
