Covered by all the major media and several dogs, the 16th
Annual Swim was more fun
than ever! A beautiful, bright sunny day with fluffy clouds greeted a
capacity
audience and swimmers. The lake was fairly calm and there was no
shelf ice this year, so it was easy for everyone to get wet all at once
in shallow water. It was over before you knew it had started!
MC Joe Jarosh was on the bullhorn as usual as official timekeeper.
Swimmers came from 18 states and even Finland. Now that's real
dedication to the sport!
Official T-shirts, hats and other items are available;

Lakeside Park also stocks Polar Bear Paraphernalia in the warmer seasons.
