Horizons Regional Council has increased their annual swim spot monitoring programme from 17 sites to over 80, to run alongside a complementary summer swim spot campaign that will help inform the public about potential health risks and highlight the Region’s fantastic recreational sites enjoyed by the public every summer. Horizons Chairman Bruce Gordon says from Ruapehu, Whanganui and the Manawatu, to Horowhenua and Tararua, the Region’s numerous swim spots offer some of the country’s most stunning scenery and excellent picnicking, camping and bush walking opportunities for locals and visitors alike.
