Snow or no snow - these swimmers take a dip

Snow's no deterrent when it's time for a swim

A group of hardy swimmers from Brighton have been praising the practice of having an early morning swim every morning ... even in the cold... even in the snow.

More than twenty members of Brighton's dedicated Swimmers' Club took the plunge at about 7 o'clock this morning. Those sampling the waters at the beach, included Robert Starr and Sarah Hill. They say 'it's a great way to start the day', although with temperatures close to or lower than zero, not everyone might agree.
