Swim Guide is a free web and phone application that shares the latest water quality testing data with the public. This is an effort to overcome the communication issue between the Department of Health and the public. This app not only encourages the community’s connection to our waterways, but also to water quality. In 2011, we built out the application for local sites in South Florida and we will soon be adding 5 new sites to Swim Guide app based on the data collected from our new Water Quality Monitoring program. With more than 4,000 Swim Guide users, we are one of the highest user groups in the country and growing.
