Swimming and boating use

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-027495

If a waterbody has been assessed for swimming and boating this means that a decision was made on if it has been deemed safe for swimming and other recreational uses. The information in How’s My Waterway about the safety of recreation should only be considered as general reference. Please consult with your state for local or swimming advisories before deciding to swim in a waterbody. Recreational uses are often divided into two subcategories: Primary Contact. Protects people from illness due to immersion in water. May include swimming, water-skiing, skin diving, and surfing - all activities where ingestion is likely. Secondary Contact. Protects people when engaging in activities where ingestion is unlikely, such as boating and wading.
