Goin for it.

And a rapid retreat.

This guy was 100% fun.

Strategies for warmth.

Always good to have an umbrella in Vancouver.

There was lots of dancing.

Nice to have someone help clean the sand off your feet.

Tim Hortons was the official coffee of the 2016 polar bear swim.

Blinding...

A man reflects on his accomplishments. And hopefully washes his bathrobe before using it again at home.

Remember what I said about dancing?

A man films himself being cold.

Another man stands in the same location to film himself being cold. (it was a very effective location for this)

This woman got an inspiring tattoo to get her through the event, psychologically ("this too shall pass").

Have fun, boys!

Dude, uhhh...

Windshield of water

The coolest, calmest of them all.

Actually she was equally calm...

Yet another rapid entry...

...followed by a rapid retreat.

Police horses paid a visit.

And left some treats in the water.

LEFT SOME TREATS IN THE WATER?!?!?

This is no problem for vikings.

Manhood on display.

A man realizes he forgot to pick up the vegetables.

Men can embrace for many reasons, sometimes just to prevent limbs from having to be amputated due to frostbite.

Winding down...

And the beat goes on.

The end.
