Canary Wharf consistently 'exceeds' the minimum requirements for bathing standards, organisers say.
The water at a dock in Canary Wharf is "completely clean" to swim in, organisers of open water swimming sessions have said.
Campaign group River Action said its water sampling by citizen scientists in Henley showed "alarmingly high levels" of E.coli bacteria which can cause serious infections. Love Open Water, which runs Middle Dock in the east London business district, said tests had shown the water levels had "consistently exceeded the minimum requirements for bathing standards" and that it was "completely clean and safe to swim in".
The facility first opened to swimmers in 2022 and is back this year due to "popular demand", organisers said.All swimmers must wear brightly coloured head wear and a bright tow float in the waterAll swimmers must wear brightly coloured head wear and a bright tow float in the water.Leaders of a school where two pupils died after a Land Rover crashed into an end-of-term tea party say they feel let down by the police investigation.
