Posted: 12/17/2007 9:17:47 AM | Hello all,
Is anyone interested in the annual Polar Bear swim down at English Bay? We had a great turn out from POF last year and would love to see both the old and the newbies come out to celebrate the New Year.. and cure what ails you!! If there is enough interest, I will look into setting it up and posting on the events thread..

might meet there again?
That would be up to the host(s) to put together but it is close and warm...
a chance to warm up the body and add some liquid anti-freeze
IF ya know what I mean!

Posted: 12/18/2007 9:03:56 PM | | I will watch too. I can't bring myself to going in the water. I feel the cold easily, but it would be really cool to watch and see some POFs in real life. | |

Posted: 12/19/2007 1:47:41 AM | | Sounds like fun, give me a chance to show off my excellent swimming skills as I attempt to run across the top of the water. I wonder what the temp would be, I know that Lake Ontario is cold enough that after about 10min of being a drift on May 24 W/E is sufficient to make an experienced swimming wish they weren't there | |

Posted: 12/26/2007 2:57:51 PM | Being from Prince George here in the Heartland where it snows in October and temps get as low as 30 below you would think a quick dip in the ocean on New years would be a cinch
no so with this mucklucker......I can barely even envision my self having the type of Northern bred pertinacity to venture forth even my one TOE to those cold freezing frigid waters
enough of that thank you very much but I'll show up if theres going to be any string bikinis  | |
