FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 20, 2026 COLUMBIA, S.C. — As South Carolinians head outdoors to cool off this summer, the S.C. Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) encourages residents and visitors to make water safety a priority while enjoying pools, lakes, rivers, beaches and hot tubs. In recognition of Healthy and Safe Swimming Week — observed annually the week before Memorial Day —…, The S.C. Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) plays an important role in protecting people's health and wellbeing by monitoring ocean water quality for bacteria, inspecting public pools and hot tubs, and tracking harmful algal blooms in lakes and rivers. , , Beaches, lakes, rivers and streams, , South Carolina’s beaches, lakes, rivers and streams are popular destinations during the warmer months, but natural waterbodies aren’t chemically treated like swimming pools, so there is always a risk of health impacts. Viruses, bacteria, and parasites naturally exist in ambient waters, and the health effects from exposure to these organisms can vary greatly. Additionally, heavy rainfall and…, Vibrio, , (flesh-eating bacteria) live naturally in brackish and salt coastal waters and can enter the body through open wounds. , Naegleria fowleri, (commonly called the “brain-eating amoeba”) live naturally in warm freshwaters. While extremely rare, infections from , N. fowleri, are nearly always fatal. The primary pathway for human exposure is through the nose and into the brain. It’s encouraged that lake and river users plug their nose or wear nose clips when playing or jumping into the water to minimize forceful water injection into the nose. , Pools and hot tubs, , Swimming pools and hot tubs also require safe practices to help reduce the spread of germs and recreational water illnesses. SCDES recommends the following tips for pools and hot tubs: Shower before entering the pool. Dirt, sweat, oils and personal care products on the skin can affect the balance of chemicals that help keep pool water clean and safe. Avoid swallowing pool water and…, Legionnella, and other bacteria can be inhaled and cause illness. Drowning remains one of the leading causes of water-related injury and death, particularly among children. SCDES encourages swimmers to closely supervise children, swim with a buddy and wear properly fitted life jackets when appropriate.

Breathe Better (B2) is an anti-idling-clean air campaign/program focused on protecting public health on school campuses and at local businesses in South Carolina. Idling means that a vehicle's engine is turned on and creating pollution, but the vehicle is not in motion. An idling vehicle wastes gas and produces harmful emissions that negatively affect air quality. Mobile sources such as…, Learn more about the B2 Breathe Better Program
