The quality of bathing water along the Slovenian coast is excellent, which ranks Slovenia at the top among the EU countries.


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.
