About

Ploufi

Where can you swim tomorrow — and how is the water there? Ploufi shows you swim spots all over the world: lakes, rivers and coasts. And it is the only app that puts official bathing water quality ratings right on the map — for around 23,000 officially monitored bathing waters across Europe, the UK and Hong Kong. THE RATING • Official classification right on the marker — from Excellent to Poor, using each authority's original categories • Direct link to the official profile of your bathing water • Honestly: ratings are the authorities' rolling multi-year classification, not a daily measurement. On-site warnings always take precedence. WORLDWIDE — RATED AND UNRATED • More than 240,000 swim spots worldwide from OpenStreetMap • In countries without an official register you still see the spots — just without a rating, clearly marked as such • Regional gaps are honest: where nothing is mapped, Ploufi does not make things up FIND AND FILTER • Filters that adapt to the area: water type (lake, river, coast), officially rated, amenities • "Nearest swim spot": if there is nothing nearby, Ploufi shows how far the closest known spot is • Built-in offline base — works at the lake even without coverage DETAILS FOR EVERY SPOT • Parking nearby — up to three per swim spot, with distance and directions to the car park itself, not just to the shore • Opening hours, operator, website, address (from OpenStreetMap) • Explore with Look Around, get directions via Apple or Google Maps • Spotted an error? Report it to OpenStreetMap with two taps PRIVATE • No accounts, no ads, no tracking Data sources: © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL) · © European Environment Agency (CC-BY) · contains public sector information from UK environment agencies (OGL) and the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department.
