Coney Island Polar Bear Club -- 2010 New Years Day Swim

I once saw the movie the Bucket List and it made me think of what was on my bucket list.  I already did the New York City Marathon, bungy jumping, triathlon and some assorted things.  I always wanted to do the Polar Bear Club swim on New Years Day at Coney Island.  Well this year, I did it.  It was quite an experience.  I was joined by a 1,000 other swimmers and 3,000 other spectators cheering me on.  The air temperature was 39 degrees and the water temperature was in the low 40s.

I have attached videos showing the experience.

Enjoy!
