Western Region Swim Guide Volunteer Interest Form

Please Note: MountainTrue's Western Regional Office is located in Murphy, serving communities in the Hiwassee, Nottely, Little Tennessee, and Savannah river watersheds.

Please fill out the contact form below to be added to the volunteer interest list for Swim Guide sampling in the Western Region!

Swim Guide is an international program used by Riverkeepers and other advocates to provide up-to-date recreational E. coli (bacteria) data for beaches, lakes, and rivers around the world. Samples are collected every Wednesday from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Volunteers collect surface water samples in a 100mL sample bottle, and drop them off at the lab to be processed by staff. Pass/Fail results are updated every Friday on www.swimguide.org to inform the public about local water quality. 

Please note under MountainTrue policy, we will never share your contact information with external groups or individuals.
