Start 2015 with a refreshing dip in Boundary Bay in the Corporation of Delta's 35th annual Polar Bear Swim.
The New Year's Day event typically attracts around 300 enthusiastic swimmers, and thousands of onlookers, to Centennial Beach.
Festivities begin at 11:45 a.m. with children's crafts, family activities and entertainment. Registration starts at noon while the swim gets underway at 1 p.m. Swimmers will be cleared from the water as soon as the bell rings. Prizes will be awarded to first, second and third place swimmers to the bell, the oldest swimmer and the swimmer from furthest away.
Registration forms are available at www.delta.ca, which will allow participants to complete the form in advance and bring it with them to the beach.
