Poll: Have you gone for a swim this year?

The EPA has released its list of good and bad bathing sites.

The new report found that 97% of sites, or 143 of 148, meet or exceed the minimum standard for cleanliness.

Whether you’re a regular sea swimmer or not, this Sunday may be your chance to go for a dip as temperatures are set to reach 21 degrees in parts of the country.

So today we’re asking: Have you gone for a swim this year?
