The illegal is a different shade of red (burgundy) and only applies to the part of the river in the CBD and nearby there upstream. It's never illegal in the other beaches, just rated poor.

Burgundy? I thought it was black in areas illegal to swim. I am red/green colourblind to a degree though…
And it is definitely illegal to swim at the confluence of the Yarra/Maribyrnong, it’s all shipping waters for the ports. But I couldn’t tell you what the penalty is!
