A record number of swimmers showed up the 2010 Polar Bear swim on New Years Day at Rees Beach. This year included at least one celebrity appearance (see below). Total attendance was estimated in the low 60's. By the way the water temperature was taken and measured at a whopping 48 degrees!
Food and drink has become a valued attraction to the event. Hot buttered rum was a sought after drink as was one of several chili dishes being offered.
