Die weer het mooi saamgespeel en dit was \u2019n heerlike dag toe 45 dapper \u201cysbere\u201d Saterdag (01\/07) die koue water van die Modder\u00adrivier by Doringbos naby die Krugersdriftdam buite Bloemfontein aangedurf het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Felix Burri, wat al 28 jaar die Ysbeerswem-uitdaging re\u00ebl, bied dit vanjaar op drie verskillende plekke aan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In die Goudveld is dit op 24 Junie by die Allemanskraaldam gehou, en die afgelope naweek was dit die beurt van Bloem\u00adfonteiners om in water van sowat 11 \u00b0C te swem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die geleentheid in Bloemfontein is op die Visarend-kampterrein aangebied, waar deelnemers \u2019n paar meter in die rivier geswem het. Hulle is deur \u2019n ywerige groep ondersteuners op die rivieroewer aangemoedig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn die water was dit \u2019n gespartel om by die einde te kom, en ons het maar geglip en gegly met die uitklimslag,\u201d s\u00ea Felix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gideon Haasbroek s\u00ea hy het die swem so baie geniet dat hy dit sommer twee keer gedoen het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deelnemers het kleurryk aangetrek \u2013 met pruike, hoede en mussies om \u201cdie koue uit te hou\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Viertrekvoertuig-kompetisie is ook gehou, met 25 deelnemers. Johan Greyling en Rudie Botha in hul Suzuki Jimny het die eerste prys gewen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nico Ranft en Nico Ranft snr. in \u2019n Isuzu was tweede, en Clinton en FJay Smith was derde in \u2019n Mahindra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die jaarlikse \u201cbaardveiling\u201d het R5 000 opgelewer, en saam met die hekgeld van R5 500 is R10 500 aan die Therapea-jeugsorgsentrum geskenk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soos op die geleentheid in die Goudveld het drie menseredders op die oewer gereed gestaan om enigeen te help indien nodig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Groot span van die Vrystaat-tak van Search and Rescue South Africa (Sarza) was ook op Saterdag se geleentheid. Marco Perreira, voorsitter van die plaaslike tak, s\u00ea hulle is sowat 19 vrywillige lede in die Vrystaat wat help met enige reddingsoptrede op moeilike terrein. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die plaaslike tak het onder meer gehelp tydens die Jagersfontein-slik-ramp en die vloede in KwaZulu-Natal, en van hulle het ook hulp gaan verleen n\u00e1 die onlangse aardbewing in Turkye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vir dapper \u201cysbere\u201d wat \u2019n nog groter uitdaging wil pak, word \u2019n geleentheid ook Saterdag (08\/07) in Sutherland aangebied. Volg die Facebook-blad FB Polar bear\/ysbeer swem vir meer inligting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
