A woman who was ill for a week after swimming in the seas has blamed a water company for dumping sewage. Julia Walker, 43, a social worker from Shoreham, West Sussex, is a regular swimmer and went out for a swim one morning in September.
The social worker headed down to Shoreham beach for a swim and later complained that her kidneys were in pain and was not able to stand up. She then called the doctor who asked her to come in to do some samples, later confirming that Ms Walker has a bacterial and a kidney infection.
Julia said: "I felt really rotten, I was bedridden and my whole body was shaking. I went on the Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) website after my swim and sure enough there had been an outpouring that day.
