Query SafeSwim NZ public swimming-location water quality, swimming conditions, wastewater overflow alerts, and hour-by-hour forecast data through a no-login REST API. Use when the task involves SafeSwim-supported NZ beach/lake swimming safety, water quality (GREEN/AMBER/RED/RED+/BLACK), lifeguard/patrol status, safety hazards, facilities, or per-location forecasts. Read-only.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# SafeSwim NZ

## Goal

Query live SafeSwim NZ swimming-location water-quality and swimming-condition data with a deterministic CLI and JSON output.

## Use this when

- A user asks whether it's safe to swim at a SafeSwim-supported NZ beach, lake, or swimming spot today
- A user wants water quality status (GREEN/AMBER/RED/RED+/BLACK) for SafeSwim locations
- A user asks about wastewater overflow alerts or swimming hazards
- A user wants hour-by-hour swimming forecasts (water temp, wind, UV, tide height)
- A user needs nearby SafeSwim locations, optionally filtered by warning severity
- A workflow needs machine-readable swimming-location safety data

## Do not use this for

- General freshwater monitoring outside SafeSwim coverage; use `lawa-nz` for broader river/lake sites
- Tide predictions alone; use `nz-tides-surf` for LINZ tide tables
- Surf conditions; use `nz-tides-surf` for SwellMap surf data
- Swimming spots outside the SafeSwim API coverage area
- Historical water-quality records beyond what the live API returns
- Safety-critical decisions without also checking local signage and conditions

## Preferred workflow

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/safeswim-nz@sha256:c6b71036c1a6a0b7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260719.1748a98, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
