Is the water clean?

If you’ve grown up in Bristol you’ll have heard tales of the water quality being terrible. Well, things have changed over the last thirty years and it’s usually rated ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ during summer months. Bristol Triathlon Club run their annual triathlon here, and every weekend sees hundreds of kids taking to the water in all manner of craft . The water we paddle in is predominantly fresh water from the River Avon, tested weekly and results published on the council website.
