Whitley Bay Boxing Day Swim 2012

  • Description

    A number of locations around the UK host midwinter swimming events -- not all of them are even on the coast -- and they seem to be growing in popularity through the twenty-first century. On Christmas Day there are events at Brighton, Bournemouth, Exmouth, Polkerris and Porthcawl; on Boxing Day try Liverpool's Albert Dock, Aberdeen's Nippy Dipper, Whitley Bay (shown here), Tenby, Redcar or Seaburn; at New Year Saundersfoot, Broughty Ferry or Clevedon. Some events have a competitive element but most are just a group of brave enthusiasts proving their hardiness!
