Water Quality

Water Quality Testing

Our swim areas are inspected by the Town of Arlington prior to Opening Day for our Beach Operator’s Permits. Water testing is performed weekly by an independent state certified lab on both Upper and Lower Mystic Lake sides of the Club, with results posted on the Swim Bulletin Board inside of the Club. If results are outside of Mass Department of Health regulatory standards, the affected swim areas will be closed and posted for NO Swimming by the Manager or his/her designee. Swim areas may only be reopened with retested water quality results indicating that the water meets/exceeds Board of Health standards.
