Text of the Bathing Water Regulations 2013 as in force today (including any amendments) within the United Kingdom, from legislation.gov.uk.

In England the Bathing Water Regulations 2013 (SI 2013/1675) is a statutory instrument defining water suitable for bathing (in the sense of recreational swimming and paddling), other than swimming pools and similar places. [1] An annual list of bathing places is produced. [2] The water must pass water quality standards set by the Environment Agency. [3]

In December 2020 it was announced that a stretch of the River Wharfe at Ilkley in West Yorkshire would become the first river bathing place to be added to the list, which hitherto included coastal sites and lakes. [4]
