Christmas Day charity swim

25th anniversary Christmas Day charity swim in the River Dallau at Island Wood, Newmarket, Co. Cork organised by the wonderful Mary Stack. This year my daughter did not swim, lucky girl, it was -4 the night before.

It was brrrrrr we got there 1/2 hour early and nobody was there, all at Mass I guess, so we waited in car it was sooooo cold. Daughter was so glad she did it last year when it was milder.

Sadly we don't have snow much in this part of Ireland, it was -4 degrees frost that night which is cold for here, but I expect it is much colder where you are. Glad I didn't swim, holding the camera was cold enough work!

Nice swim in cold water. You don't have any snow on the ground thought.
