In order to monitor the quality of the bathing water, the state office regularly carries out physical-chemical and microbiological examinations every 14 days. This ensures that the water quality meets the legal requirements and there is no serious health risk for bathers.
It is important that bathers find out about the quality of the waters before they go swimming. The State Office for Health and Social Affairs Berlin regularly publishes current information about the water quality of the bathing spots. Public warnings in acute problems are also announced there.
Despite the good water quality, it is advisable to take some precautionary measures to stay safe and healthy. This includes showering in front of bathing to remove possible germs or dirt particles from the body. It is also recommended to take a new shower immediately after bathing to wash off chlorine or other chemical residues.
In summary, it can be said that most Berlin bathing waters have good water quality and are suitable for swimming. The regular examinations of the State Office for Health and Social Affairs Berlin ensure that possible risks can be recognized early and measures can be taken.
