## Safer Seas &amp; Rivers Service Description
An ocean dip with a side of dysentery? No thanks. Our award-winning, free-to-download app is the only national Water Quality service keeping you in the loop with what’s happening where in our waters. 

When it comes to living in the UK, shit happens. And far too much of it in our waterscapes. Untreated sewage and wastewater regularly gush from thousands of sewer overflows around the country. It stinks. 

Add to that the impact of severe rainfall – which churns all manner of unknown pollutants into the ocean from farming, septic tanks, roads, and urban areas – and it’s not a pretty picture. 

The Safer Seas and River Service makes it easy to check in, search out a swim, surf, or sail spot, and be served the latest pollution alert for over 450 locations across the UK. 

The app also includes complementary beach information including tide times and lifeguard services and allows you to take direct action on water quality issues by getting involved in our campaigns or emailing you MP or Water Company CEO when an alert in place. 

Users can submit a sickness report if they&#039;ve become unwell after using the water to help aid our campaigning work and reveal the true extent to which sewage pollution is impacting human health. 

Want to stay safe in the water and help us end sewage pollution? Download the app Safer Seas &amp; Rivers Service to join the campaign and make informed decisions about where and when you enter the water.

## Safer Seas &amp; Rivers Service Reviews in United Kingdom

### ***** "Local sea dipper"
Great site - quick and easy update with no faff for those quick opportunistic sea dips .
-- Exmouth dipper, 2024-11-01

### *---- "Won’t register on app"
App won’t allow me to register to become an active member
-- flemshooter, 2024-08-25

### ***** "Great app"
As a keen sea swimmer this really helps to give you the confidence when and where you can go swimming
-- Barry whites big toe, 2024-08-20

### ***** "Needs more updates"
Do you need more information from the water companies, the environment agency or do you need more citizen scientists?
-- WI crusader, 2024-07-28

### ***** "Great App to have for safe sea swims"
Very handy for those who love to swim on the sea- Reassuring to have and to be ‘in the know’ thankyou , highly recommended , you can also sign up to support this good work
-- Su Bratch, 2024-07-28

### ***** "So useful"
Check every time before I swim
-- Sazbox, 2024-07-13

### ***** "Brilliant app."
Sad we need this service. 

Real time alerts, set local spots.

Well done to who ever made it !
-- Hgggggklkv, 2024-06-17

### ***** "Unfortunately a very necessary App"
Keeps us safe
-- Ikea101, 2024-06-11

### ****- "It’s really good"
I think in my opinion, where they got the overview they have human affected after swimming and evidence of pollution. They should include dogs as well. Also, I think (this is very picky) they should do the rivers as well as it connects to the beach as well
-- Sazzle_bazzle, 2024-05-21

### ***** "Excellent Eye opener"
It’s a great app but  it’s depressing and scary to see how many times and how much sewage is being dumped into the sea. It would seem that if a cloud appears in the sky it’s an excuse to open the toxic taps
-- Clive Truluck-Crocker, 2024-05-16

### ***** "Get This App!!!"
Really well-made app, with consistent updates!
-- littleliv.com, 2024-05-15

### ***** "Great app"
This is the most useful app on my phone. As a regular sea swimmer it allows me to identify if it’s safe for me to swim. I’ve shared with all our group, The Widewater Mermaids 👏👏
-- widewater mermaids, 2024-05-13

### **--- "Up to date testing?"
How often are the seas and rivers updated. In Lancashire you currently say there’s been a pollution leak on the 29th of Jan ‘24, it’s now 7th of February and it’s still saying the same thing. Your own terms and conditions state readings might not be up to date. Can you please confirm because as someone who uses the beaches daily for work I need to know if it’s clean or not? Thanks
-- MaiChiMis, 2024-02-07

### ***** "Fantastic! I check it before every swim!"
Thanks you SAS!
-- Sonia swims, 2023-12-31

### ***** "Hugely valuable app to keep safe from Sewage"
This FREE app is a hugely valuable tool in keeping us water users safe from sewage pollution. 

UK waters are at the mercy of polluting Water Companies and we are sick of getting ill from sewage spills in our sea and inland waters.
I’d prefer not to get dysentery thanks to South West Waters inability to manage their overspills.

SAS is doing great work so thank you so much for this app and all the great work you are doing 😊
-- SparkliestEyes, 2023-11-07

### ***** "Cold water swimming alerts"
Invaluable app to keep an eye on the quality of the water where l sea swim. So useful during the bad weather phases. Forces me into my ice bath or pool but avoids me getting ill!
-- Pootle51, 2023-10-27

### ***** "Brilliant and Important"
Get it whether you live near the sea or not. A useful tool. Interesting. Informative. Power in numbers ✊🏼
-- snakey 2 tongues, 2023-10-16

### ***** "Great app great up to date information"
Love this app so informative and helpful.
Just sad there is so much sewage in our river and seas….
-- swingtracy, 2023-09-19

### ***** "Horrific!"
What a brilliantly horrific app, it is truly devastating what water companies are doing to our oceans and rivers. 

Please download this app if you or a family member are a water user or care about the environment.
-- oliverlcsmith, 2023-09-19

### ***** "A must"
Very useful app with helpful alerts.
