I'm never really concerned about water quality, but I'm always concerned about the wildlife I'm scared of water I can't see the bottom of. I go out to Santa Monica every summer to visit family and make it a point to always swim in the water. I feel like it's my duty to swim in the great Pacific I swim extensively and even dunk my head under water and swim for like 10 to 15 seconds at a time completely submerged It's safe..

I live in and surf Santa Monica times a week for the past 4 years. Have yet to have an issue. I remember when I first moved to LA, I was so excited to be so close to the beach.

Santa Monica's beaches are very popular, however the water quality isn't always great. By and large, it's been an exemplary year for water quality at California beaches. In LA County, 91 percent of beaches received an A grade for water quality during the summer months, and more than half earned an A during wet weather, when stormwater runoff spills into and often contaminates nearby ocean water.

The ratings are based on the amount and type of bacteria found in samples collected at beaches throughout the year. From those samples, beaches get a zero-to score, which is then translated to a letter grade. The number of LA beaches that received A or B grades during summer months was up 6 percent over the area's five-year average, suggesting that swimmers last summer enjoyed some of the cleanest water in recent memory. Unfortunately, the reason for this has little to do with environmental precautions or efforts to rid beaches of pollutants.

In fact, more than , gallons of sewage spilled into the ocean in LA County over the past year, triggering four beach closures. Instead, the above average cleanliness is mainly the result of below average rainfall. El Segundo Beach at Grand Avenue took the final honor roll spot.
