A group of 12 intrepid swimmers met up for a Christmas Day dip in the chilly waters of Ackergill harbour.

It was an invigorating experience for the Kool Water Sw1mmers on a bright but distinctly cold morning.

Many of them donned Christmas hats for the occasion.

Afterwards they had a well-earned hot chocolate around a makeshift fire pit.

Bettine Bain and Sandra Georgina were celebrating a year of dipping, and both said it had been the best year yet.
