A record 1307 swimmers took part in Saundersfoot New Years Day swim this morning. We went down to join the crowds.

Waiting for the mad rush.~
The Lifeguards were there too - just in case ...

There were a few odd, wet people wandering around!

Most rushed in and got out very quickly, so I couldn't photograph them all, but there is lots on the internet.

Saundersfoot holds this swim every year and raises thousands for charity. Last year they raised £30,000 and are hoping for more this year. There were a couple of thousand people on the beach and surrounding harbour. It was a lot of fun, but jolly cold!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hi, Ann - thanks for your comment on mine - I seemed to shake the bug off, thank goodness! New Year's Day at Saundersfoot looks a gas! You didn't brave the water yourself?! Happy New Year, Abby x
I think I would have to wear a wet suit to join in the swim nowadays Abby, although I have done a Christmas Day swim in Sennen once and a New Year's Day in Penzance once a long time ago. Will keep it in mind for the future though! Ann x
