What the number means

Swale: river in the United Kingdom. One official station reports the water temperature here: Richmond, operated by Environment Agency.

The value comes from official bathing-water monitoring: samples every two to four weeks in season, most recently on 22 Sep. Between two samples the water can move by several degrees, up on hot days, down after thunderstorms.

Below 15 degrees the body answers with the cold-shock reflex: an involuntary gasp, racing pulse. Enter slowly, breathe out calmly, never swim alone. The app gives a per-sport verdict and warns when your favourite water drops below your own threshold.
