\u2022 1 September @ 06:55<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeffreys Bay will make a splash this spring with its first-ever Polar Bear Swim, set to take place on Monday, 1 September at Kitchen Windows Beach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will begin at 06:55 with a sunrise swim, with two additional swims planned for 13:00 and 17:15 to give more people the chance to take part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea was inspired by an old Spring Day tradition, when many would welcome the season with a plunge into the ocean or a swimming pool with their friends, no matter how cold it was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the tradition would be revived with a new twist, a combined effort from all of Jeffreys Bay\u2019s swim clubs, fitness groups, youth groups and ocean enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone can take part in this free event, whether simply swimming or on a surfboard, floatie or boogie board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organisers said they hoped the Polar Bear Swim would become a yearly tradition, bringing people together to celebrate fitness, friendship, and the changing of the seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Registration is open to all at Signature Caf\u00e9, located inside Xclusive Fitness at 50 Diaz Road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
