Official profile first, then live environmental context
Freshness gate: modelled weather older than 3 hours and gauge readings older than 6 hours are treated as unavailable. Timestamps that cannot be parsed or sit more than 15 minutes in the future are rejected, not labelled live.
Inspect source and failure boundaries
Water-quality classifications, sample history and pollution-risk warnings are deliberately not copied from an unverified nearest-point feed. Use the exact Environment Agency profile above.
Do not combine these into a safety score. The official profile, modelled air weather, any nearby gauge and on-site observations answer different questions. A complete response means only that the requested remote sources returned—not that conditions are safe.
Locate the designated monitoring point
The marker is the Environment Agency record coordinate used by this page. It is not an entry point, access instruction or route. Check land-manager information and what is physically present before approaching the water.
For Henleaze Lake, the marker identifies Henleaze Lake (ukk1100-36050) at 51.4946, -2.6057. The register names Bristol City Council for this lake record in Bristol. The additional local source reviewed for this page is Henleaze Swimming Club current access and safety information; open it below before turning the record point into a travel plan.

This place check is tied to Henleaze Lake, identifier ukk1100-36050. The Environment Agency profile is the verification route for the annual classification, sample history and any available pollution-risk warning. Those values are not copied from a nearby-point feed.

What a second, place-specific source changes
Henleaze Swimming Club current access and safety information
- What the source establishes
- The operator describes a controlled club site for competent swimmers, a required 50 m test, variable swimming limits and current operator notices including water-quality or algae updates.
- How it changes this check
- Confirm a valid member, guest or community-access route before travel, read the current notice and follow the marked swimming limit and staff instructions.
- What remains unresolved
- Bathing-water designation is not public walk-in permission. If access, booking or the operator’s current water notice cannot be confirmed, the trip check remains open.
Place-specific verification sequence
- 01Confirm the swimmer has a current member, guest or community-access route and a booking where required. The Environment Agency record is not an admission document.
- 02Read the operator’s current temperature, algae and water-quality notice immediately before the session. Preserve its date because these notices can change more quickly than the annual classification.
- 03Follow the marked swimming limit and authorised steps, and confirm the 50 m competence requirement has been met. Staff instructions override a route saved from an earlier visit.
Place-specific evidence questions
This file keeps the exact Henleaze Lake record (ukk1100-36050) separate from same-day observations. Its annual designation evidence is not a current access statement or a safety decision.
- 01Is access available to this swimmer on the intended date and session?
- 02Do the official profile and on-site operator notice describe any current water-quality or algae concern?
Questions to verify—not confirmed local facts
