Winter swimmers in Brighton, England don't let the cold (nor the snow) stop them from taking a dip.
And then there is the lovely Samantha Brown from the Travel Channel ...
... who went for a winter swim last December, joining the Coney Island Polar Bear Club in NY, the oldest winter bathing organization in the United States. Or in other words, a group of people from all walks of life who deeply enjoy the activity of cold water swimming and think that every day is a good beach day!

Oh what a fun post!
ReplyDeleteI adore Samantha Brown...and look at her cute little bathing suit!
Oooooh!
That cold water swimming...I know it is rejuvenating for the soul!
XXOOXX
Do you have snow?
Wow, that looks a bit cold but I guess that doesn't scare them away! He he, I love the blue swimming suit, so adorable!
ReplyDeleteNo way in heck could I do that! I loved Samantha Brown when she did a few cruise ships for her show.
ReplyDeleteNot going there! That is a sweet bathing suit though.

Fun post Maya... I adore Samantha she is so much fun and what a blessed JOB! But me? I'll pass on cold water for swimming... I'm a warm water kinda swimmer. But I love looking at the winter ocean...
ReplyDeleteBy the way... my post Thursday in my series of posts about the Hotel Del Coronado is about a ghost at the hotel that I defiantly felt the presence of! Pop over if you get a chance... and one of the posts I am dedicating to you I think its going to be on Sunday! I thought of you while I was there and photographing the pix for this certain post.
Take care there!

ReplyDeleteMy Wednesday post this week, is "Sleigh bells ring---snow is glistening". Come by and view my snow village if you can find time.
Great photos...and Sam's such a cutie...glad they enjoyed it!!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!!!
I'm glad someone has the guts to do that because I never will.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I would definitely do this! In fact, going to a beach where it snows is on my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteAbout twenty years ago or so, I was in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We went snowmobiling to the hot springs, took off our snowsuits and entered the water. It was fabulous! I have a pic somewhere of me in my bathing suit and snow boots. The temperature was about thirty below and when we got out I knew how a snowman feels.
AND, I love that cute suit!
That looks very cold! It wont be me either!
ReplyDeleteNeat post on polar bear swimmers and Samatha Brown. I liked her on the travel channel.
ReplyDeleteThat water looks cold.
I know quite a few people who do the Coney Island plunge. I, however, am more sane than that. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Maya
ReplyDeleteCrazy people!! hehe... It is supposed to be quite good for your health.. Here in Sydney we have the Bondi Icerbergs and even where I live the oldies still go for there swim in winter. Although of course not so cold.. and no snow!
Have fun..... are you going to take a winter dip yourself? xx Julie
Wow! I just arrived from a month of vacation. I cant really stand he cold out there:)
