Courage? Ain't that risky, is it? You're a week to soon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_bear_plunge[^]:
Every New Year's Day around 10,000 people dive collectively into the icy cold sea water at Scheveningen, The Netherlands' main beach resort town since 1960. In 89 locations on beaches and in lakes all over the country, each year around 30,000 people participate in this "Nieuwjaarsduik" (English: New Year's dive), with a record 36,000 participants on January 1st 2012.

It'll be 71F here tomorrow so if I accept it would be kind of cheating but if you wait a day and go Thursday it'll be 81F and I might could join you? :)

Not the Atlantic, but I have done the Boxing Day Dip in the North Sea.

A short while ago I saw a YouTube video of a guy that wanted to take such an annual dip, by jumping straight through the ice on his swimming pool. Imagine his thoughts when he took a good bomber of a jump and the ice didn't break. :omg:

I went for a swim in the sea on New Years once. Chinese New Year when I worked in Singapore. :laugh:

Last winter we went down to the Balaton and the whole lake was frozen over; deep enough to skate on. Some numpties had indeed broken the ice so that they could swim in the lake. I declined the offer to partake.

I saw the "walruses" jumping in to the River Neva through a hole in the very thick ice when I visited Leningrad in November 1986.

I used to have a tradition in the first house I bought - When the first snow fell, I used make a large snowball, and throw it at the house. Mostly to see if it would fall down...
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.
When I was a kid I loved the first snow of the year. I'd run to the door and shout at my parents "Come on! You know the deal! Let me in!"

I would do that if I was in Portugal.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.
I am at Portugal Richard ;P

Friends of mine do. But then, they live in Tahiti. And no, I have no friends living in Tahiti, this was only rhetorical.

The Atlantic is a little far away for me. Instead I have this one[^]. I'm not sure why, but every year as I get out of the water, my wife comments about the Seinfield episode involving the word "shrinkage". :)
