As we head closer to summer, and the warmth of high temperatures, kiwis start to gear up for beach season – and long hot days frolicking in our rivers and oceans.

We wanted to know how many brave souls have tested the waters already this spring – despite some chilly periods – or if we’re all waiting for things to really heat up.

So let us know in this week’s poll – have you dared enter the water yet? Also leave a comment telling us how it was if you have!
