Gower has ongoing water sampling on 8 beaches by NRW in the swimming season. If you are taking samples in one of these beaches, it is important to undertake the sampling at the same location as NRW or in a transect, (line) down the beach from the sample location. See below for the exact location for each bathing beach.
