    Oh, the donated hot showers afterwards are a kind idea!

    Used to love doing the 'Mid Winter Swim' as it used to be called. I lived in Oamaru for most of my life and, like Dunedin, it was really cold due to the currents which used to come straight up from the Antarctic. Nobody would ever think of wearing a wetsuit then tho.
    Great pics, thanks for posting them.
