Bringing in the new year with bravery and a quick dip into Burton’s chilly water

On Jan 1, 2013 eight intrepid swimmers congregated at the Burton camp ground boat launch for the second annual Arrow Lake Polar Bear Swim.

Two of the original three swimmers from last year’s first annual dip attended the event for a second time.

It was a bright, sunny day and lots of supporters turned up with warm mugs of liquid encouragement to cheer on the swimmers. Next year’s event is sure to be an even bigger success.
