One in three UK adults prefer swimming with sharks over polluted local waters, highlighting severe sewage issues.

The Liberal Democrats' poll highlighted that sewage was dumped in traditional swimming spots 3,799 times last year, totaling 24,433 hours. Growing pollution, including high E. coli levels, has led to the cancellation of festive swimming events, prompting calls for stricter regulation from Lib Dem Tim Farron.
