Horizons Regional Council has wrapped up its summer monitoring programme and swim spot campaign for another year.
For the third year, Horizons ran a #swiminourregion photo competition, asking the public to share photos of themselves enjoying the region's waterways.
By tagging the location and using the hashtag they were in to win a water-related experience within the region.
Horizons chair Bruce Gordon said he is pleased with the success of this summer's monitoring programme.
"Our science team have done a fantastic job by getting out to over 80 swim spots across the region each week, with the help of Ngāti Rangi in the Ruapehu District.
