Swimming with Mary P

Weather is predicted to be around 100F so let's go swimming! Officially they say there are no lifeguards but in the past they had lifeguards taking money in the snack shack and for entry but swim at your own risk. Note that if the water is unacceptable for swimming this will be canceled.

https://www.westfordma.gov/facilities/facility/details/Edwards-Beach-21 has information about the beach etc. ( am open to car pooling if someone is interested reach out to me directly - I'm in North Cambridge and plan to leave home at 3 pm to arrive by 4 pm. Note that they do have a $15 charge (Seniors over 65 are free) for non Westford residents. Sometimes the lifeguards are busy and don't collect it but don't count on it. They are open till 5 pm when the lifeguards leave and the snack shack closes. I have never seen them chase people away so what you do after 5 pm is up to you. They have a playground and beach volleyball as well. I don't plan to use them but you could. Current water quality as of 6/29 is good. https://datavisualization.dph.mass.gov/views/BeachWaterQualityDashboard/Closures?%3Arefresh=yes&%3Aembed=yes&%3Atoolbar=no has water quality info. I will be either sitting at the beach or in the water. If on the beach I will have my cell nearby (8574379088) I'm tall and will have my hemiwalker along. 55 Williams Avenue Westford MA is the best GPS coordinates as the official address is "End of Williams Ave Westford. 55 Williams Ave is the small playground onsite.
