TL;DR
Recent mid-July reports say sea conditions around Antalya are changeable, with floating debris sometimes brought in by currents. On one of the latest days, Konyaaltı was described as cleaner, while Çıralı had noticeably dirtier water the same day.
The newest beach report says that on that day the water in Çıralı was dirty, with debris apparently washed toward the shore. If your goal is to swim today, Çıralı did not seem like the better option.
Compared with Çıralı, Konyaaltı Beach was reported cleaner over the previous 3 days. There was still some debris at times, but it came in waves rather than staying constantly in the water, so conditions could change during the day.
Travelers were already comparing this season with last year, when the water had seemed murky and stormy. That suggests sea quality in Antalya this year is seen as variable, so it is best to check same-day reports for the exact beach you plan to visit.
