Bathing water status - James Tennet
First-time entrants Penarth and Col-Huw beach in the Vale of Glamorgan made their debut by moving straight into the top ranked category, with the former’s application having been submitted by local resident and ‘wild swim’ enthusiast, James Tennet. Welsh Government is today reminding the public that anyone can put forward their local swimming hotspot for consideration as a designated bathing water, which would see Natural Resources Wales collect and analyse water samples from May to September. By having applications open to anyone, Welsh Government hopes it will support the boom in cold water swimming popularity that has proven positive benefits for people’s mental and physical health.
