Swim Guide Rocks
It's an amazing way to show off local beaches meeting water quality standards as well as providing folks a way to report pollution problems. Alabama loves Swim Guide!kccallaway
Not what I expected
This app was constantly crashing to the point that I could never even use it. No matter how my times I reinstalled or restarted my phone it still would not start up. It kept saying there was an Internet connection problem when I was at home with my house wifi working. Sad I was looking forward to using it too.Show lessangldark2525
Pretty weak....
Besides crashing most every time I use it....this app really offers very little.
Sure it will list the beaches close to your location and provide a brief general comment about the beach, however, there is actually very little info that is particularly helpful to a swimmer. No water temps, no tides, presence of rocks or rips, no clue as to safety for Swimming. Other than a somewhat current clue as to water quality (with no details except clean or not clean) nothing that is helpful in determining whether one should jump in and swim.
I checked it using my local area and if a visitor used this as a 'guide' they could possibly end up swimming in some beaches that are dangerous or ill-advised for even an experienced swimmer. There is nothing in the guide to advise which beaches require a more experienced swimmer.
One other sour note....some of the 'beaches' they list are really just locations on the coast (or on water)...not what is generally considered a beach.Show lessFreddeCat
Impressed!
Surprisingly useful and well-made app!P'Jamz
Many beaches not included
This is probably a good app if your local beaches are included, but the entire New Jersey shore is missing, as well as Rhode Island and other major beach areas on the east coast.ZachE48
Love this APP! Why Swim In Dirty Water!
Use it every time I am planning a trip to the beach. The Swim Guid is constantly adding locations and how else would you know if the water quality was bad on a particular day before you ventured out to the beach, call the department of water?
Good luck with that! So much easier to use this app that gives you up to the minute data on the location your looking for.
Highly recommend having on your phone at all times!Show lessjohnhoving
Hudson River Water Quality Data
it would be on great benefit to have the historical water quality data linked to he Hudson River sampling locations/beaches. This way the app would actually have a value for those of us who actually swim in the Hudson! Without the water quality data, and all areas being labled "gray status", the app isn't much more than a list of areas that you can't decide whether to swim or not!...Show lessBilljeff01
Amazing App
I have never written a review before nothing was just worth it. This is the first time I wrote one. I just had to. This is such a very helpful app! A++++.Proud AB resident
Terrible!!!
I live on Cape Cod, MA. (7 mi. wide) surrounded by beaches. The nearest beach this app came up with was in Marshfield near Boston 37 miles away. My iPhone 4 has no internal issues & yes my location is on. Don't waste your time!!!!2Roz
Just what I was looking for
What a great idea! Love this app! We have a 10 month old and are cautious about where to take her in the water. Now we can feel confident!Megan Hamilton Music
