Polar Bear Swim

The annual Catalan Bay Polar Bear swim saw hundreds people jump into the cold water on Boxing Day morning.
Many people attended the event to raise funds and awareness for their respective charities.

This year’s swim was Brexit themed with organiser John Walker encouraging people to bring a Union Jack flag with them to the beach.
