A crocodile has bitten a woman on the leg while she was swimming at a remote bay in Western Australia’s Kimberley region.

Tara Hawkes, 23, was swimming in a freshwater pool near the tourist vessel True North in Dugong Bay north of Derby on Sunday afternoon when a two-metre crocodile bit her upper leg as she left the water.

Ms Hawkes, who was a crew member on the boat, was flown by helicopter to Derby Hospital where she was in a stable condition on Monday night being treated for lacerations and puncture wounds.

Peter Trembath of North Star Cruises, the vessel’s operator, said in a statement that the attack happened at a swimming hole that was only waist deep.

“Crew members checked the pool before entering the water, however they did not detect the crocodile which was estimated to be two metres in length.”

Mr Trembath said Ms Hawkes was bitten while getting out of the water.

A Department of Environment and Conservation spokesman told AAP the department had warned tourist operators not to let people swim in the area because it was believed the crocodile was still there.

He said it was not known if the animal was a freshwater or a saltwater crocodile but the attack took place in fresh water.

He said freshwater crocodiles would usually attack only if people seriously disturbed them.

A wildlife officer was on the way to the scene of the attack and the department says it is assessing options to deal with the crocodile.
