T
here are some great swimming spots to be found in Pemberton, however you must ensure that you supervise your kids as we do not have a life guard on duty.The water in the lakes and rivers is very high in Tannins. This is due to the plants and geology of the ground that the water runs through and makes the water look a dirty brown colour. There is nothing wrong with this however it may stain white clothes if worn in the water. It tends to make the top metre or so of the water quite warm and therefore great for swimming. It is no good for snorkeling, as you just can't see. Because of the tendency of the water to get warm there is the chance of Meningitis or Meningococcal present so you need to understand that you swim at your own risk.
