Enter Swim Guide, a website built by the Canadian non-profit Lake Ontario Waterkeeper to help you discover new beaches, lakes, and swimming holes.
A short list of the site's features:
- Distinguish clean waters (Green) from polluted waters (Red)
- Get walking, driving, or transit directions
- Bookmark beaches for easy access
- Share your finds on social media
- Help protect your waterway by reporting pollution or environmental concerns
And while you're at it, don't forget to peruse Portland Monthly's list of 8 Great Swimming Holes.
