Over 350 brave swimmers took a dip into the chilly waters of Boundary Bay Wednesday at Delta's 34th annual Polar Bear Swim.
The participants, cheered on by over 1,500 spectators, descended into 6°C water to a bell anchored 25 metres from the shore.
Morgan Bezembinder took first place, Jacob Cowley finished second while Colin Gallagher and Stephen Stubbs had a tie for third. Other awards included Lui Porc, 73, receiving the Oldest Swimmer honour and Australia's Scott Todd winning Swimmer from furthest away.
Attendees enjoyed a children's treasure hunt, drumming with Lyle Povah and entertainment by Chameleon Productions Stilt Walkers, as well as hot chocolate served by the Tsawwassen Boundary Bay Lions from their Streetside Community Kitchen.
