🎊🌟🎊🩵We are absolutely thrilled to share that Llandeilo Swing Bridge has been granted official Bathing Water Designation from 2026 🎉
This means:
đź’§ Regular water quality monitoring
đź’§ A legal commitment to improving the river
đź’§ Better protection for people, wildlife and the environment
This is only the second river site in Wales to receive this status, following The Warren on the River Wye in 2024.
This achievement has been driven by the community 💙 From the first public meeting in 2023 organised by the amazing Jude Western , to gathering bather data and responding to the consultation, and the formation of Nofwyr Afon Tywi / River Tywi Swimmers . But this simply wouldn’t have happened without the incredible support of volunteers and local residents young and old.
People have been swimming at the Swing Bridge for over 100 years — and now it has the recognition and protection it deserves.
🙏 Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen - it’s wonderful what a community can do together.Thank you also for the all the help and advice from Surfers Against Sewage Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK , of the river Wye and many more people and organisations.
Improving the health of the River Tywi is a long-term effort, and there are lots of ways to get involved. If you’d like to help, groups like Achub Y Tywi and West Wales Rivers Trust are doing amazing work. Join in with their projects! 🩵💧💙🩵

Have Your Say on Water Quality at Llandeilo Swing Bridge

PLEASE FILL OUT THIS PUBLIC CONSULTATION ABOUT BATHING IN THE RIVER TYWI

Why does this matter?
Bathing Water Designation places a legal obligation on authorities to improve water quality — protecting human health, supporting wildlife, and strengthening our local ecosystem.

In November 2024, Tywi Bathers submitted an application to the Welsh Government for Designated Bathing Water Status at Llandeilo Swing Bridge with information about the numbers of bathers using the site.
Tywi Bathers were asked to repeat the bather count in 2025, and following the updated report (which recorded even more bathers than 2024) Welsh Government has now launched a NEW public consultation.

This is your chance to add your voice.
The consultation closes on 23rd February, so please take a few minutes to complete the simple questionnaire and share it with others who care about the River Tywi.
