## Safeswim Description
Safeswim – Know before you go
Everything you need for planning your day at the beach. Safeswim helps you make informed decisions about when and where to swim by providing real-time information on water quality, safety conditions, and hazards at beaches and freshwater sites across New Zealand. Developed by Auckland Council in collaboration with Watercare, Surf Life Saving New Zealand, Northland Regional Council, Te Whatu Ora and Drowning Prevention Auckland.

Real-time water quality forecasts
Understand the health risk of swimming at your chosen location, with up-to-date guidance based on environmental monitoring, water quality modelling, weather data and forecasts, and real-time alerting of wastewater overflows.

Live safety status and alerts
Stay informed about current hazards including strong currents, large waves, marine life, and other risks identified by lifeguards and local authorities.

Lifeguard patrol information
See when and where Surf Life Saving patrols are active so you can choose safer places and times to swim.

Location-based search and map
Explore swimming spots near you or across the country using an interactive map and detailed beach pages.

Favourites
Save your preferred beaches and swimming locations for quick access to conditions that matter most to you.

Why use Safeswim?
Water quality and conditions at beaches, lakes and rivers can change quickly and are not always visible from the shore. Safeswim provides up-to-date information for your local beach, refreshing every 15 minutes, and also shows water quality forecasts up to three days in advance to help you plan ahead. Think of it like checking the weather — but for swimming!
Everything you need to know before you go. You can also check the latest tide times, weather forecasts, water temperature and beach facility information for your favourite beach.

Important Information
Safeswim provides guidance based on the best available data, but conditions can change rapidly. Always use your judgement, follow local signage, and listen to lifeguards.
Download Safeswim and check conditions before you swim.
