Source Information
Swim Wild Squamish volunteers, in partnership with Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH), monitor the water quality of Nexen Beach. Sampling is conducted during the height of swim season (May - September). VCH follows the Canadian Recreational Water Guidelines. Recreational water is considered safe if the geometric mean result is under 200 E.coli/100mL. Should the geometric mean exceed 200 E.coli/100 mL, a Medical Health Officer will make an assessment of the risk to human health. If there is a risk to human health, a warning sign will be posted at the beach stating “This Water is Contaminated and Unsafe for Swimming.” Swim Wild Squamish volunteers collect the water samples for Vancouver Coastal Health. The results are communicated on the Vancouver Coastal Health website (http://www.healthspace.ca/vch). Swim Wild Squamish updates Swim Guide according to these results, as soon as they become available.
