An annual tradition 10 years and counting took place on December 15 as members of the Tallulah Falls School swim team took the “Polar Plunge” in Tallulah Falls Lake.
According to coach Rachel Nichols, the event was again a success.
“This is a great occasion that we use to celebrate the halfway point of the season by spending time and sharing laughs together,” Nichols said. “This is also a unique event that we take pride in having every year. This makes for great memories for all involved.”
Some of the swimmers lingered in the water just off the beach, while others made a quick trip to the floating boundary before racing back to gather around the fire pit.
The Polar Plunge is special to Nichols, also, because she was part of the swim team that started it a decade ago.
They say a picture’s worth a thousand words. Well, judging by these photos, it’s safe to say that water was COLD!
