The 12th Annual Polar Bear Swim is another Lake Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club success story.
83 jumpers registered to jump in chilly Lake Lanier.
Elizabeth Canupp dressed up as a Christmas tree and won the best costume category; awards were also given out for best jump, and the oldest and youngest swimmer.
Jumpers only needed to stay in the water for several seconds - enough time to enter and get out - but that was enough. Many took advantage of nearby hot-tubs to warm up again.
