The practical facts before anyone gets wet.
FreePlay brings public beaches and recognised swim spots together with the information families actually check: official restrictions, monitoring, tides, lifeguard schedules, access and facilities, where available.
Beaches & Swims safety information is free for every family.
What FreePlay shows
Verified information is clearly separated from what is still unknown, and unconfirmed details are never presented as absent.
- Official restrictions and bathing-water classifications, attributed to their sources
- Whether a spot is officially monitored or a recognised unmonitored swim place
- Tide estimates, with the source station disclosed
- Lifeguard schedules where published
- Access, parking, toilets and family facilities where known
- Accessibility and easier-access information where known
- Source and freshness information for official data
- Community corrections and safety reports from other parents
Officially monitored places
Identified bathing waters are monitored and classified by the responsible public bodies. FreePlay shows those official classifications and restriction notices, always attributed to their sources.
Recognised swim spots
Many loved swim places are not officially monitored. FreePlay clearly distinguishes these recognised unmonitored spots so families know exactly what information exists, and what does not.
Tides, honestly presented
Tide estimates can come from a nearby station, and local times can differ. FreePlay discloses the source and treats tide information as factual context, never as a recommendation about when to swim.
Lifeguard information
Where lifeguard cover is published, FreePlay shows the schedule. Scheduled cover is not live proof that a lifeguard is on duty right now, and FreePlay never claims otherwise.
FreePlay does not certify anywhere as safe to swim.
Water conditions change by the hour. Always follow official notices, local signage, lifeguard instructions and current conditions. FreePlay gives families the published facts; the decision, and the care, stay with you.
Access and facilities, where known
Parking, toilets, changing, easier access routes and family facilities are shown where known or confirmed. Unknown stays unknown, and missing information is never presented as a fact.
Safety and accessibility information stays free for every family.
