ok as in - you wont get sick from pollution.
Mate, if its not good enough for the locals to swim in, then that should be enough of a warning sign.durain wrote:sure you can swim in east coast or sentosa. water is OK although i havent chemically tested it yet. no oil spill or "floating matters", so should be OK.

I've been swimming in the waters here for over a quarter of a century and aside from no hair, skin cancer and general crankiness, there's nothing wrong with me at all. I drink all my water straight from the taps as well, without boiling it.
