This indicator shows coastal sea bathing water in Slovenia and its quality. A bathing area is a section of coastal water intended exclusively for bathing. Bathing areas are designated where a large number of people bathe or expect to bathe or where bathing is carried out as a direct use of water for the activity of bathing areas.

Bathing water is divided as follows:

- Bathing areas – areas in the natural environment where the public bathes at their own risk, while water quality monitoring is provided;

- Natural bathing sites – bathing areas that have a manager and a permit for direct use of water, while bathing is organised in accordance with the legislation governing prevention of drowning.
