Special note: Data on Swim Guide corresponds with the date that samples were collected. However, sample dates are unavailable for Connecticut State beaches at this time. Please note that for Connection the data entry date corresponds with the date samples became available, rather than the date that samples became available. The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection monitors water quality at state-owned and managed beaches. The DEEP collects samples 1 - 2 times / week from the week before Memorial Day through to Labor Day and shares the information on its website or through its hotline: 1-866-CTPARKS (1-866-287-2757). On weekends, only the hotline is updated. Swim Guide checks for the latest information daily, Monday - Friday during the peak swimming season.
