GRAVENHURST, ON- High bacteria levels have led to a warning for swimmers in Gravenhurst.

If anyone chooses to swim during the swimming advisory, they should avoid dunking their head or swallowing the water.
Warning signage will be posted at the beach.
The town will supply updates as they are available.
