Swim advisories posted at Centennial

Based on water sample results from Monday, the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit has recommended Centennial Beach and Minet’s Point Beach in Barrie be posted with a swim advisory.

City staff are posting advisory signs and re-sampling of the beaches is expected on Wednesday.

A status update will be provided once a decision is made by the health unit.

During a swim advisory, signs will indicate recent water samples show bacteria levels that may increase risk of developing minor skin, eye, ear, nose or throat infections or stomach illness.

If you choose to swim during an advisory, health officials recommend you avoid dunking your head or swallowing the water.
