Cold Water Bites Polar Bear Swimmers
The third annual Point Richmond Beach Polar Bear swim got off without a hitch despite cold water. Daniel and Julia Rees foolishly convinced their father, as seen by the photo above, to join them for the chilling plunge held at noon on New Years day just as a biting wind whipped up bringing a rain shower across the area. This was not the first swim for the kids for 2006. Both children were said to have swum just after the clock struck midnight - and in the dark! What kind of parents would allow such a thing!
