Sunday Update: The beaches remain open and the weather could not be more beautiful!
Westchester’s Long Island Sound beaches are open for swimming today, July 5th, 2014. Enjoy the water! We are providing these swim alerts for Westchester because pollution frequently leads to swimming bans on Long Island Sound beaches. Our Sound Swim Alerts are designed to help you plan your weekend, and also to bring attention to the problem of chronic pollution at local beaches. We issue Sound Swim Alerts for Westchester every weekend and holiday throughout the summer, and, if the beaches are closed because of pollution, on weekdays as well. You can find out how you can help by reading about our new Long Island Sound Pledge program, and then choosing a way to get involved. We will update this post tomorrow, telling you if the beaches are open, and we’ll also post it on our Facebook page and on Twitter (@savethesound).
