Tens of thousands of people have been enjoying a dip at Ireland’s pristine lakes, rivers and beaches during the recent sunny weather. What most swimmers don’t know is that City and County Councils must designate official bathing areas in their area every year so that they can be monitored for safety, water quality and their level of use. To help us with this process, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council are now asking people who swim at beaches, lakes and rivers within the County to tell us if they think we should maintain existing designations or give a new official bathing area designation to areas that are commonly used for swimming but not designated as such at the moment.
