I've swum a few times at Chiswick with no problems. Swim in it, don't drink it. Wash your hands when you get out. Don't swim in the river after heavy rainfall. Have fun.

I don’t , but a lot do near teddington on the Kingston side nr the Hawker centre .
I have friends that swim regularly nearer shepperton.They’re all still alive and well .
I think the general rule is don’t swim immediately after a downpour and no deep open cuts etc …. Common sense I guess .
Have you tried shepperton lake ?

@NotThamesWater
Does anyone here swim in the Thames?
Specifically between Richmond / Hampton.
If I go for an hour tomorrow, will I end up with giardia, hepatitis and other fun gastro diseases?
