Freezing bunch of people diving into winter sea!

One of our greatest friends does this and each July it happens at 6.45am - freezing temps but they are so keen! Raising money for a heart defibrillator!

The video icon does not work. Photo taken from the live TV.!

I think they'd need a defibrillator after the swim :)

[Maggiemae]

Well in fact recently a surfer got into trouble and the defibrillator that they had raised money for a year or so before, saved his life!

[Joan Robillard]

there are several different polar swims here in Maine . Sometimes it is snowing.

[Dianne]

Brrrr - they're keen!

[Islandgirl]

Yikes sounds cold, cool shot!

[Diana]

They've already turned blue before entering the cold water ;-)

[Brian]

Great story telling image, story and cause.

[Babs]

They must be mad. I think I would need a defibrillator if I did that

[katy]

I would think someone would need to make use of that fibrillator after engaging in this activity!

[Kate]

Parks around here sponsor a polar plunge on New Year's Day but I am not enticed to participate

[Pat Knowles]

Are they mad? They say it’s good for you but need to start slow & gradual. We are too old maggie for such things…thank goodness!

[Kerry McCarthy]

Well good for them - freezing for a good cause.

[Valerie Chesney]

not for me, I am not brave enough!
So pleased they raised the money for a defibrillator..

[Taffy]

Brrrr!! The cool tones work well here too
