Balneabilidade/swimmability

We have used the term ‘swimmability’ to describe the safe use of waterways for recreation. A key attribute of ‘swimmability’ is having good water quality in waterways for swimming? Swimming is a ‘primary contact’ aquatic recreational activity. Primary contact is defined as activities ‘where the body can be fully immersed and there is the potential to swallow water, and you are in
direct contact with the water. (...)’.".
https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1755-1315/344/1/0...
"In the new proposal, swimmability is defined broadly by colour codes: in a “blue” waterway—the best—the water can only exceed 540 E. coli per 100 millilitres five per cent of the time. (...)."
