Open water swimming Oranmore/Maree?

Hi, Does anyone know any clean/safe areas to swim in oranmore/maree? I've seen some people swim at the pier in renville but the water looks so dirty and rubbish washes up often when the tide is out.

The water quality in the west of the bay tends to be poor. A lot of rubbish is washed in there too by prevailing tides/winds.
I would venture to Salthill or beyond if I were you.

What are they doing in the Hyacinth house?
