Coronado cancels two beach events after county puts new ocean-water testing system in place
The first event was the Rough Water Swim on July 2nd and the next is the California State Games Jr. Lifeguard Competition.
“It was canceled due to the amount of uncertainty that exists, not necessarily with the water quality, but with the county’s policies around water quality testing,” said Coronado Mayor Richard Bailey. “We're certainly not questioning the veracity of the new test, what we are questioning is the new threshold that is being used to determine whether the beaches should be under advisory or closed,” said Bailey. “For the past several decades we've rarely ever had a single day where the beaches were closed during the summer, but now we're seeing beaches closed a third of the summer days.”
