River Frome Outbreak Sparks Warning | Bristol News

Sixteen people, including kids left bed-ridden, fell violently ill after swimming in the River Frome — a spot long considered low-risk but now flagged as “poor” quality by the Environment Agency.

Officials are investigating, installing AI monitors for real-time updates, and urging everyone to check Swimfo before jumping in — because even experienced swimmers can’t outrun pollution.
