UK swimmers face cold water risks during festive swims, but many still participate in traditional events for charity.
The RNLI warns UK sea swimmers to be cautious during the Christmas and New Year period due to cold water temperatures between 6°C and 10°C, which can cause dangerous cold water shock, even for experienced swimmers.
They urge swimming with others, wearing visibility aids and wetsuits, acclimating gradually, and seeking medical advice if needed.
Despite risks, hundreds participate in traditional festive mass swims across the UK, including in Felixstowe, Penarth, London, and Weymouth, often in costumes and for charity, with events dating back over a century.
