    The Safer Seas Service (SSS) is an innovative mobile app providing real-time water quality information directly to the palm of your hand. It allows surfers, swimmers, and all water users to find beaches with the best water quality, to avoid pollution and the associated health risks. The app provides vital public health information and allows users to take action to campaign for cleaner seas. Users can email their Member of Parliament when there is a sewage spill at a beach in their constituency, calling for action to be taken to end sewage pollution. Health reports can be submitted to SAS to track health risk hot spots. Covering over 370 bathing waters across the UK with over 31,000+ users, the app has issued 898,300 notifications since its launch in 2019 with 3000+ emails sent to a total of 93 MPs demanding better water quality to keep us safe when using the sea.

    Myanmar swimmer Win Htet Oo has gone public with his intentions to forgo qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics in what he describes as a form of protest against the “military dictatorship” in his homeland. The athlete now based in Australia had previously written to the International Olympic Committee asking to compete as a neutral athlete, but that request was denied. Since he has rejected competing under the leadership of the Myanmar Olympic Committee, Win Htet Oo forgoes any chance of qualifying. The SCMP’s Patrick Blennerhassett spoke with the swimmer about why he has given up the Olympic dream he has worked on for many years.

    World record holder Caeleb Dressel claimed the men’s 200m freestyle at the 2021 TYR Pro Series at Mission Viejo – going 1:47.57 to touch first ahead of the highest-ranked American, Andrew Seliskar. The time was just over two-tenths behind his personal best in the event.

    “It was a great field,” Dressel said after his swim. “I was excited to swim against this super-stacked field, it was a good representative of how Trials is going to be. I was happy to get my hand on the wall first, but this (meet) is mainly just about racing.”

    Cal Aquatics’ Andrew Seliskar finished second with Gator Swim Club’s Khader Baqlah rounding out the top three.
